Want to Know How Much Local Government Employees Make?

payroll

Well, check out the the 2012 Payroll Database produced by the Better Government Association, a watchdog organization that investigates and highlights corrupt practices and other mishaps with elected officials, high-ranking staff members and every day folk. From what I can tell, the reporting is pretty objective and the stories are very eye-opening.

Anyway, you can find the following units of government in this year’s database:

  • City of Chicago
  • Cook County
  • State of Illinois
  • Chicago Public Schools
  • Chicago Transit Authority
  • Chicago Park District
  • Chicago Housing Authority
  • City Colleges of Chicago

Visit the BGA and check out the 2012 Payroll Database. Did you see anybody you know?
