This is a part-time elected position.
I really wish more of them would accept their $20K salary as plenty, and turn down the bennies.
A Texas Legislator gets paid $7200 per year, plus a per diem, when in session.
But Illinois Pols do 5, 10, 20 times the job, than they do in Texas.
Right Illinois?
For goodness sake, you are supposed to be a civil servant.
Why am I paying their healthcare?
Why is it that so many people on this blog jump up and down about the teacher’s benefits package but the county board gets a walk?
Their healthcare, mileage reimbursement and pension are paid by tax payers.
Eliminate the health care, the pension and the mileage reimbursement.
Inish: Run for a Board member seat and change it!
Interesting that the voters got rid of two of the members who did not take the benefit packages!
I would wager $100 voters have NO IDEA that they pay for healthcare or a pension for these positions.
My whole family lives on less than eleven of them for the year!
@Cindy…
Your comment speaks volumes and explains quite a bit.
Thank you
Inish: Get out there and educate them!!!!
