Taxes Wasted: Illinois Keeps Spending Money with High Salaries + Louis Gutierrez & Wife

Examples: Village & City Manager compensations:



City of Chicago Departments pay a lot in overtime
More ... 


  • 20,295 teachers and school administrators – including superintendents Joyce Carmine ($398,229) at Park Forest School District 63, Troy Paraday ($384,138) at Calumet City School District 155, and Jon Nebor ($377,409) at Indian Springs School District 109. Four of the top five salaries are in the south suburbs – not the affluent north shore.
  • 10,676 rank-and-file workers and managers in Chicago – including $216,200 for embattled Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) and $400,000 for Ginger Evans, Commissioner of Aviation – including a $100,000 bonus. Timothy Walter, a deputy police chief, made $240,917 – that’s $146,860 in overtime on top of his $94,056 base salary. Ramona Perkins, a police communications operator, pulled down $121,318 in overtime while making $196,726!
  • 9,567 college and university employees – including the southern Illinois junior college power couple Dale Chapman ($465,420) and Linda Terrill Chapman ($217,290). The pair combined for a $682,000 income at Lewis and Clark Community College. Fady Toufic Charbel ($1.58 million) and Konstantin Slavin ($1.04 million) are million-dollar doctors at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
  • 8,817 small town city and village employees – including 84 municipal managers out-earning every U.S. governor at $180,000. These managers include Lawrence Hileman (Glenview – $297,988); Michael Ellis (Grayslake – $264,486); Robert Kiely (Lake Forest – $255,247); Kevin Bowens (Libertyville – $254,428); and Richard Nahrstadt (Northbrook – $250,248).
  • Former Gov. Jim Edgar (R) took $2.38 million in compensation from the University of Illinois (2000-2013) and has received at least $2 million in pension payments earned from his 20-year career as legislator, secretary of state and governor. Today, Edgar receives $241,272 ($20,106 per month) per year from two pension systems: the General Assembly Retirement System ($161,016) and the State University Retirement System ($80,256).
  • Even current Governor, Bruce Rauner (R), is not exempt from spending money as if it grows on trees.  His wife now "works" as a Personal Assistant with a salary of $100,000 courtesy of the State of Illinois.  Will I vote for him in Illinois' Primary Elections next March 2018? Hmmmm....

    I continue to admire the couple though (pictured below), especially during the Lincoln Laureate Award Ceremony of our college senior daughter. Mrs Rauner has a nice smile and a firm handshake.  She is a help and not a hindrance to Mr Rauner as far as I can tell.  But at a cost to our state of $100,000 a year?!! Once again, Hmmmmmm ...
