[edit] IN DEPTH: Public service pays off
"Former Henderson Police Chief Richard Perkins was on the city payroll two months this fiscal year, but he stands to pull down nearly $450,000 from City Hall at a time when politicians must slash services or raise taxes as government revenue plummets with the state economy.
Perkins, 47, stepped down this past summer with the minimum 25 years of service credit on the police force, necessary to qualify for a full pension.
His years, combined with the $168,478 salary he received when he departed, gave him a pension worth an estimated $99,400 a year."
