High-priced government workers cost taxpayers in Illinois $10 billion a year, with municipal managers in areas surrounding Chicago reaping the most benefits.
Illinoisans are struggling under the highest property taxes in the nation, a declining population and the nation’s worst income growth, but one group is still doing pretty well – government workers.
According to OpenTheBooks.com, Illinois has 63,000 public employees making more than $100,000, costing taxpayers $10 billion. These government workers range from auto pound supervisors to corrections nurses to junior college presidents and more. One of the most lucrative government fields is that of village and city managers, many of whom out-earn every U.S. governor.
The 10 highest-paid village and city managers in Illinois are located in Cook County and the collar counties of DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will. These local officials are all are making more than $200,000 per year.
The village of Glenview has the highest-paid village manager at $297,988.45 per year. Grayslake, Lake Forest, Libertyville, Northbrook, Rosemont, Palatine, Schaumburg and Northfield round out the top 10, with city and village managers in those locales all making between $230,000 and $265,000. Rosemont was on the list twice, with two village managers making more than $245,000.

Now imagine the cost of funding their pensions.

No government employee outside the military/defense sector should be making any more than 1.5 times the national average take home income.

And they wonder why they're literally broke as a state.

Usually the chief executive for a village/city that has a Council-Manager or weak mayor form of government. In those instances, the mayor is usually relegated to presiding over council meetings and ceremonial duties.

I imagine the government unions have a lot to do with this. How can you have any kind of negotiation, when as a union, you negotiate salaries and compensation with the same people who you just funded and helped get elected. So sad really. When government workers were allowed to unionize, it really spelled the doom for fiscal responsibility.

This is absurd. Dealing with government employees on a daily basis most of these worthless pieces of shite don't even deserve a job. If you ever wanna know why shite never gets done just go inside a government agency and observe

I can see why the state of Illinois is now literally bankrupt.

Not close, not even the smaller ones. One Presidential election doesn't count.
