Senator Ted Stevens Will Still Get Tax-Funded Pension Even If Convicted Of A Crime

From the National Taxpayer’s Union:

Even if Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) is convicted of all seven counts of financial corruption listed in the indictment against him, he’ll still be eligible to collect his taxpayer-funded pension of roughly $122,000 if he steps down in 2009.

That may be a bigger crime than the ones Stevens is allegedly guilty of.
