Darn. I don't have any contacts there.

But if you've got a clean criminal record look into city jobs. The pay isn't usually amazing (better than yours though), but the benefits are usually really, really good.

Even in Texas I have never had to pay premiums on medical, dental, and vision for a government job, and my last 2 cities have provided 2:1 matching on my retirement plan at 7% (so I have 21% going towards pension). The guys mowing the parks get the same benefits.
