If You're An Illinois Taxpayer
With High Blood Pressure, Don't Read This, by Tyler
Durden, 6/4/18,
We mapped the exclusive club of 30,000 Illinois educators with either
salaries or pension payouts greater than $100,000 costing taxpayers $3.7
billion annually.
$1 out of every $3 in
individual income tax is paid out to retired teachers.
Troy Paraday made
$407,145 as the superintendent of Calumet CSD 155 even though enrollment is
just 1,200 students. Meanwhile, the kids are struggling. Nearly 70 percent of
are from low-income families and just 16 percent are considered ready for the
next level. Paraday’s paycheck is up from the $384,138 last year.
Joyce Carmine, former
superintendent of Park Forest SD 163, retired on a first-year pension of
$290,526 (2017). Last year, Carmine earned the #1 salary in the entire system
with a massive salary increase from $81,382 (2000) to $398,229 (2016). She
earned this largess even though less than one out of four students in her
district were considered ready for the next level and 88 percent of students
were considered low-income.
Gregory Jackson
received $340,405 (up from $325,208 last year) as the superintendent of Ford
Heights SD 169. Why is Jackson making a massive salary when just one in five
children in his district passed the statewide PARCC exam? Further, there are
just 434 students in the district, and 97 percent are from low-income homes.
Arthur Culver made
$265,000 as the superintendent of East St. Louis SD 189, even though just six
percent of students are considered ready for the next level and 96 percent of
students are from low-income homes.
The legal corruption
is so bad even union bosses are muscled into the teacher’s pension system.
Unions are private-sector organizations but, in Illinois, the unions received a
special legislative carve out making them members of the government pension
system.
