Report: Perry collects state pension and salary

It may be legal for him to collect his pension early (military career plus years of public service), but it's not going to look good for a candidate who collects his retirement income early (age 61) while also wanting to raise the retirement age. Folks will clearly see this as "I got mine, you're on your own".
