$80,000 pension because he used a multiplier of 4%. but steve, when you look at, for instance, just a state employee, it is half that number. we ll move that graphic here in just a second. ok. look at that. 80,000 for the legislature and only about $43,000 for the average state worker. right. same amount of time spent, same final salary but they the formulas are very complex. that s one of the problems that we have with the system. people who don t understand what the real costs are so they give themselves a better formula than state workers. you mean the multiplier. yeah, exactly. that s one again, these systems are so complex and the formulas in how you figure it out, that s part of the problem. they add to it because we don t even realize sometimes that they have a better pension because we don t realize the formula is so complex in their favor. it s not like they re going to tell us. that s for sure. you look at a place like kentucky, their multiplier is almost 3%.

we started last thursday and into friday. here it is that surface low, starting to get its act together. all the ingredients are starting to form. to give you a perspective here, as storms tore through st. louis it put down 2 3/4 inch hail, 6:30 in the morning. we re looking at the potential of maybe a half a foot of snow or more in places like wisconsin and minnesota. the power is there. the focus of concern as we get into the afternoon and the evening hours will be in this area right here, including st. louis, into indianapolis, back through springfield and then again later today into little rock for potentially strong tornadoes, long track tornadoes like we saw during the day on friday across the southeast. then later tonight, it moves into those areas, jackson, huntsville. tomorrow as that cold front begins to sweep to the east, so does the threat. we re talking now raleigh, could see some severe weather. contessa? maria, thank you very much for the outlook there. a long island
tornadoes, isolated tornadoes, also hail up to 2 3/4-inch diameter, so very large hail and gusting winds above 80 miles an hour. so all of that can create some significant damage. we ll continue to monitor this. megyn: how bad did indiana get hit? the pictures we used in the lead-in looked devastating. we ve had reports of the wind damage, which could be from a microburst to a macroburst and then widespread winds 60 to 70 in some cases 80 miles an hour, all can create significant damage. megyn: look at that picture. there is nothing left. there is nothing you can t even tell what was once there. i wish i could tell you. i m assuming it was a home. why know. that can be from the
other stories to bring to you. calls for more troops on the southern border have been ignored in washington for the most part. new developments in the jet ski murder case could change that. a lead investigator in the case found decapitated. that s crazy. we re talking to a texas lawmaker who says we can t afford to keep waiting to protect our borders. that s coming up next. too soon, the plan to teach elementary school students sex ed gets the go ahead but not without a few changes. then you just saw it here live, eight chilean miners rescued after 70 days trapped underground. we ll go back to chile. it will last 48 hours. next 2 3/4 with us. if only there were a place where banks competed to save me a boatload of money on my mortgage that would be awesome! [sarcastically] sure. like that will happen.
