Apparently Sen Jim Demint (SC) will step down from his Senate seat to head the Heritage Foundation.
Interesting.

It's also something like...
a 500% pay raise.
The current head of the Heritage Foundation was paid around a million bucks a year.

Wow. But it's a selfless job for the good of the party.

Glad he's leaving...
But I think it's crappy for any public official to leave office before their term is up. The people voted them in and their donors gave money to support them all the way through their tenure. Just shows that some people are in public office not to help their constituents but to get the connections to make big money. Good riddance.
