What goes around comes around in the Pennsylvania Legislature.
Former state Rep. Frank Dermody, who used to appoint members to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, on Thursday received an appointment of his own and the $145,000 annual salary it brings.
Dermody, 69, the longtime House minority leader, in November lost his campaign for election to a 16th term to Republican Carrie Lewis DelRosso.
That 923-vote loss, however, served to fatten Dermody’s paycheck.
His new post on the Gaming Control Board pays about $15,000 a year more than he collected in the Legislature. At the same time, the Oakmont Democrat could be eligible to begin drawing a lifetime pension of about $110,000 a year, based on 30 years of service in Harrisburg.
