There is a fair bit of outrage up our way right now over the Probate Judge retirement being changed. The new rule for Marion county allows the Probate judge to draw 75% of hit salary which is now pegged at 90% of the district judges salary after 12 years of service and reaching 60 years of age. I think those are the correct numbers without looking works out to about $85k/year after 12 years of service I think the rest of the counties in the state are on a similar system and higher than that.
