Gold rush is on for a plum job
By Yvonne Abraham Globe Columnist March 20, 2016

To paraphrase General MacArthur, old city councilors never die, they just fade away. And for councilors, the preferred fade is into a better paid, even more obscure political post.

It’s no surprise, then, that recently deelected Boston councilors Stephen Murphy and Charles Yancey are eyeing runs for Suffolk County register of deeds.

The office, where an army of devoted and/or tenured clerks record real estate transactions, is the perfect place to close a career on the public payroll.

First of all, the job pays $124,000 a year — way more than the measly $99,500 Murphy and other councilors fought for so hard last year.
