U.S. Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, who has remained relatively quiet about exactly what he will be doing after his six-year term expires in January, is being considered to be the next chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America.
The issue was detailed in The New York Times and then in Politico for the job that pays an estimated $1.2 million annually. That would be a big pay increase for Dodd, whose Senate salary is about $165,000 per year.
Dodd is currently preparing for his farewell speech on Tuesday on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
