This is the eleventh group of fifty Illinois state employees living in McHenry County. The names are listed in descending order by salary.
We’re probably down to mainly part-timers, interns and first-year hires.
You will also see “stipends” for McHenry County’s elected officials. These are in addition to their regular salaries. They are paid by state taxpayers, the supposed justification being that they do work for the State of Illinois. These are new since I served as County Treasurer in the late 1960’s when the Treasurer actually collected Inheritance Taxes. It was just part of the job then.
There are 633 in all, when one considers all the part-timers, contractual employees and temporary employees.
The total state payroll for McHenry County was $38.6 million.
