FROM THE ARTICLE:
Some of Illinois’ K-12 schools are spiking salaries and padding pensions. Data reveals nearly 30,000 teachers and administrators earned $100,000+ incomes. However, just 20,295 of those educators are currently employed; the other 9,305 are retired, resting on six-figure pensions.
Here’s how it breaks down in two of 900 school districts. Just 1,236 of the 2,147 educators with $100,000+ incomes are currently working.
In Township High School District 214, there were 500 retirees receiving six-figure annual pensions in addition to 640 working educators.
In Palatine Township High School 211, while 596 educators earned a six-figure salary, 491 retirees received six-figure lifetime pensions.
Illinois = Greece
State Employees should not make more than the State Legislatures or the Governor.
Unions...

Time to sell your house, get what you can and move the hell out.
Too bad nothing can be done about it.
There you have it. But hey, auto pound supervising is a stressful job.
They pay $200,000 a year to have someone say,
“One Adam Twelve”?
Nice work if you can get it!.......................
Wish i was black i’d move to IL in a heart beat..
But, but, they work so hard!
It’s too late anyway. The whole state is about to go bankrupt, so there would be too little of the goodies left for you to collect....................
But it’s the fault of hard working, American taxpayers that there are multiple generations of ‘underserved’ groups in Illinois....Uh huhhhh!
they might need 630 employees above 100K,,,,some doctors maybe, etc.
the rest is pure waste, graft, abuse of the taxpayers
City of Atlanta police chief retired couple months ago on a $252,000.00 annual pension.
Nothing short of a nukes on DC, NYC, etc. is going to stop this.
Nothing!
Nothing!
Nothing!
California is at least as bad, and probably worse. It’s only “salvation,” is that it still has an economy that’s growing at twice the rate of Illinois. But at the end of the day, even a “better economy” won’t save it from the same fate. Both states, along with many others are on the brink of financial collapse, and there will not be enough Federal money to solve the collective problem. The other thing is that the RATs in Illinois just seem to be corrupt. They really have no plan to fix what’s wrong there. Here in CA, the RATs think that they are on the road to Nirvana, thanks to Silicon Valley and our Agribusiness giant, but in the end both are still going to fail because of their fundamentally flawed ideas about people and money.
