Thanks for electing me, and I'm keeping my old job, too.

Colorado's newly-elected Secretary of State Scott Gessler plans to continue work at his old election law firm while in office, the Denver Business Journal reported on Friday.

Gessler told the Business Journal that he needs extra money to supplement the $68,500 he will make annually as Secretary of State. A former partner with Hackstaff and Gessler LLC, now the Hackstaff Law Group, Gessler said he's taking more than a 50% pay cut in his new job.

1. I wish I could make up the rules as I saw fit too

I'd have a good salary too. Fuck conflict of interest.
