The salaries of the top 20 paid Chicago employees came out. What's shocking is Lightfoot is like 12th on the list. IIRC like 8 or 9 out of the top 10 were employees of the horribly run Chicago Transit Authority including its leader who refuses to give press conferences or attend any city leadership meetings while demanding more funding behind the scenes.Finally some good news out of Chicago.

Why Illinois Is In Trouble – 132,188 Public Employees With $100,000+ Paychecks Cost Taxpayers $17 Billion
The new ‘minimum wage’ for government work is now $100,000+.
openthebooks.substack.com
Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com found nearly 500 educators in the public schools with salaries between $200,000 and $439,000. In small towns, city managers made up to $341,300. Three doctors at the University of Illinois at Chicago earned incomes between $1 million and $2.1 million.
Barbers trimmed off $104,000 at State Corrections; janitors at the Chicago Transit Authority cleaned up $143,634; bus drivers in Chicago picked up $242,812; and suburban community college presidents made $418,677.
Chicago (28,000) – Why is crime out of control in Chicago? It’s a matter of political will— not pay. The Chicago police and fire departments paid 600 employees between $200,000 and $480,000 in cash compensation last year.
In Chicago, 41 ‘street light repair’ workers made between $100,000 and $196,123 and 61 city ‘sign painters’ made six-figures up to $145,341. The boss at the city auto pound reaped $124,783 while the janitors at the auto pound made six-figures too. ‘Sanitation laborers’ made up to $125,783.
The Chicago Transit Authority, operator of trains and busses, paid rail service supervisors up to $294,609; ironworkers as much as $251,376; and line workers $240,835. A signal maintainer took home $302,075, a telephone line worker was paid $247,677 and a customer service representative made $207,202.
Incredibly, 378 CTA bus drivers took home $100,000+ and top earner Yolanda Harris picked up $242,812.

Depends on which state.
In my state the pension payout is based on last 3 years earnings. People work all kinds of overtime. They retire with huge monthly checks. Pretty sure same thing us going on on Illinois.
