To get the pension, a congressman has to be either 62 years old, be 50 with 20 years of service, or any age with 25 years of service. Jackson wouldn't be able to draw a pension until 2015, now he has to wait until 2027.C-dub wrote:IIRC, he said he was going to wait until he got his pension before resigning. Plus, if he did not run for re-election there was a chance that a Republican could win his seat. Not much of a chance, but a chance. This way, I think the Governor get's to name someone to take over his seat.
