“Ex-legislator Frank Rasche, D-Paducah, served 15 years in the House before resigning in 2008 to accept an $80,000-a-year position in the Beshear administration in the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet. That state job increases his legislative pension to $33,000 a year from $14, 841 – a gain of $18,159 a year for the rest of his life. The lifetime gain is estimated at $329,949. He voted for the bill.”
