Comment of the day from Chris in the comments: "Eric Fehrnstrom!!! From The Boston Globe (via BMG) in 2006:

Governor Mitt Romney has installed his most prominent aide, Eric Fehrnstrom, as the state appointee on the Brookline Housing Authority, a move that will allow Fehrnstrom to qualify for a state pension when he reaches retirement age. Fehrnstrom, who earns close to $160,000 and is scheduled to leave his state job Jan. 4, would have been nearly two years short of the decade of service required of state employees to vest in the pension system. The five-year housing authority term will allow Fehrnstrom, the governor’s communications director, to exceed the 10-year threshold and be vested.
