More tomorrow.
Look at all those Life/Health/Dental insurance expenses! $17,264/year.
Why is Crystal Lake paying those outrageous amounts?
Are those for dependent premiums?
Years ago, YEARS ago, businesses stopped paying for dependents’ insurance.
If employees wanted to insure dependents, the employees paid the cost.
The City of Crystal Lake employs the Employee, not the family!
I’ll bet a similar situation exists throughout the County and the State.
1Really now…
Library Director
Salary – $119,104
Health Ins. – $7,363
Vacation Days – 29!
I don’t care what this person does for the library.
Isn’t this out of control?
