Best Job - Money-wise

  • More than one of every three Chicago city workers made $100,000 or more last year — including 36 who topped Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s $216,210 salary, a Chicago Sun-Times analysis has found.

    The number of city workers making more than Emanuel was up from 26 in a similar review by the Sun-Times in 2015. And the percentage of city employees topping the $100,000 mark is up slightly since then.

    Topping the city’s six-figure-pay club was Aviation Commissioner Ginger Evans at $400,000.
You can read the list, but evidently, the best job in the city nowadays is "undercover police sergeant" with three of the top ten spots being occupied by that title.

Rahm's overtime budget is already well over last year and shows no signs of slowing down.

And a few of those names (actually more than a few) are retired guys that were getting their comp time payouts. Not actual salaries but monies owed to them by the city. More shitty reporting.

Rahm Emanuel always boasts about the City Colleges of Chicago, which have suffered from chronic mismanagement, waste and fraud during his mayoralty.

Adjunct instructors teach sixty percent of the classes at the City Colleges, but have not had a contract in five years. Two unfair labor practice complaints were upheld against the City Colleges for not bargaining in good faith with the part-time faculty union.

If you are a unionized employee watch out for Emanuel. He will screw labor as often as possible.

they are including retired guys (like Koplitz) who had many years worth of hours on the books, and are finally getting paid out. Not exactly accurate. Donny had over 15,000 hours when he retired.

This Aviation Commissioner position is somewhat of a
new trend in big cities, somewhat like a city planner, only
with airlines with the end game of luring new airlines covering
new routes as a way to bolster business growth. And it's
not unusual for a female to hold this position. But beware,
Ginger's counterpart in another city has leveraged the position
to move up the corporate/governmental ladder to a better salary.

We swat bugs and spiders bugs on our faces just going 25 feet to our garage. We live in peace up here. You learn to love the wild life. We get stung twice a week even in the house. Sometimes 15 times stung a night. Come on Winter.

Ferguson is worried bout comp time. Well Joe, I tried to use 8.5 next weekend and was denied. Then reversed for labor day which is almost 26 hours on the books. So due to being denied and working holiday mandatory, instead of being minus 8.5 hours, I'm gaining almost 35. How is this my fault Mr. Ferguson?

Contract time......further into the article,,,,There’s no cap on how much comp time police employees can accumulate. The city typically pays out what they are owed over three years when they retire, with three annual payments. That practice drew scrutiny from City Hall Inspector General Joseph Ferguson, who, in a report in May, cited the example of a sergeant having banked nearly $800,000 in comp time. “This particularly expensive element of CPD contracts should be carefully evaluated in the 2017 . . . negotiations,” his report said.

Plus they are bringing up that the salaries also include duty availability and uniform allowance.

Five of the city’s 44 contracts with labor unions expired on June 30, and City Hall wants them to consider the city’s financial troubles when they negotiate new deals.

Yup, as reported above, this is typical anti-police/contract reporting by the MSM.
In a nutshell for the trolls who will take the article as 'gospel'...
*There's not enough police. (Look at the crime/murder stats)
*Rahm won't hire enough police.(The published numbers can't even keep up with attrition)
*Police then have to work their days off.(More work= more salary and stress levels)
*Police are not allowed to take accrued time off(At retirement 1000's of hrs. paid out)
The MSM, again at the direction of "da' Hall" publish these stories in the typical, 'glass half empty' (negative) fashion. People (and folks) read that crap and take it literally that it's the annual salary of the po-po, not taking into account that it's actually OT (working/sacrificing days off) or the overall salary for their 'retirement' year when the city is forced to pay/include all their accumulated/denied time on the books.
And the beat goes on.

I only know one guy on that list, Sgt. Koplitz. What the shoddy hit piece didn't tell you was that he earned that money by working a ton of overtime. For the naysayers out there, Donny worked midnights for years. He then went to court after working and was sat in court all day as he was also an ET. Donny also looked like death warmed over. Working midnights will do that to you. If you think it's easy, try working from 1100 PM till 730 AM and then going to court. It will kill you. Working overtime anywhere is hard but when you do it on midnights it's twice as hard.

The idea with "Civil Service" was that you'd make less than you would in private industry, but we'd take care of you in your old age with a pension. That was the "Social Contract".

But I'd argue that once your salary meets or exceeds what you'd make in private industry, that we no longer ought to fund a pension.

Basically as your salary goes up, our pension contributions ought to go down, and hit zero at about $100,000/yr.

What does that person do for $400K/yr? Because that's an insane salary for some bullshit job like running the airports....

I want to salute the Jewish gentleman who recently confronted Mayor Emanuel at Manny's Delicatessen and really unloaded on him for doing a miserable job. Rahm stood still and was absolutely silent. His bodyguards did nothing. The critic concluded by telling Hizzoner that Anti-Semitism persists because of dishonorable people like the mayor.

I guess it's better getting stung then shot, I'm just saying. Speaking of Wisconsin and bugs, I do a lot of activity in north central area, near Phillips. I to have a swamp, creek, and a lake. Some summers are worst then others. About two years ago there was two late freezes and there was a moderate amount of bugs that year. This years bugs were what call slightly above average.

SPRINGFIELD - Should non-citizens be protected from U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers? That's what SB 31 will do, State Rep. John Cabello (R-Machesney Park) told Illinois Review Friday. Cabello signed onto a letter six state lawmakers sent to the governor Friday.

A Rockford police detective before being appointed to the Illinois House in 2012, SB 31's enactment would tie law enforcement's hands - something that's "concerning," Cabello said in a short interview:

There are plenty of "suburban" cops that work in shithole towns that work 12 hour overnight shifts, then go to 9am court until noon, then go back to another 12 hour overnight. If this guy looked like death warmed over, he was doing something wrong. Also with that much time OTJ he should have been able to bid to a day shift. It sounds like he wanted the OT. That's his business.

All of that aside, if that is comp time he EARNED it. That's what the media should be saying. This wasn't part of his regular pay unlike hacks like Ginger Evans who made an ANNUAL SALARY of almost twice this Sgt.'s one-time payout. It wasn't like he was given magical free hours. He put that time on the books and didn't use it. (I also doubt he was denied time-due to the tune of thousands of hours of comp time - especially with the seniority inherent with reaching retirement age.) It's too bad the MSM doesn't report the truth instead of running slanted stories that suit their political agenda.

I hope this Sgt. retired far away from Shitcago and lives many years to enjoy his retirement. And fuck these rag "newspapers". I wouldn't paper a birdcage with that drivel.

How is a sergeant that is assigned to desk duty in the area making 30,000 in overtime? He is not assigned any active investigations because of the pending investigation!

8/27/2017 01:25:00 PM

That investigation is over. Read the news dummy

$216K is what our crook mayor makes on paper. He probably makes at least 10 times that amount with all the backroom deals he's involved with. Chicago politics at its finest.
--------------------
You got it
Think about the airfare, hotel, and meals for all of his trips around the world with his family.

Who is the guy that's gonna run against him?
Ask Kevin Graham who he's gonna endorse against Rahm?

Has anybody ever stopped to think, that our City is being run by a 9-fingered Dwarf with raccoon eyes, who used to wear a Tu-tu ? Think about it...

8/27/2017 03:33:00 PM

Hey, fuck you! I got 9.5 fingers, not 9, I am out of makeup concealer for the dark circles, but Amy is going to have a Mary Kay demonstration next week, and the tu-tu is in my D.C. condo's storage bin. Hey, it worked here with the fucking wedding dress. Now, what do you have to say there, smart guy? I got to go. I'm running with those fucking "Mayor how about this and Mayor how about that" recruits in the morning and I need to get some rest.

professional athletes should be paid based on performance only!!!

any government worker making more than 200k is just unbelievable. it just shows the system is broken.

as a homeowner and taxpayer in the city of chicago, i feel cheated.....

I'm sorry you feel cheated Mr./Ms. Citizen. There are folks on that list who earned every cent of that money. If you knew what kind of life those folks led to get that money, you'd shake your head. It's nothing but work and sleep. In the meantime, the mayor you voted for has short changed everyone by not hiring to keep up with attrition and the crime rate. The business attitude of do more with less is right here in front of your nose, yet you blame the folks who are taking advantage of everything offered to them. Want to fix the system? Vote out the cabal that runs this god forsaken shit hole before it's too late to turn it around.

Just another burned out city worker.

There's plenty of guys earning the big ot dollars, most are Detectives or po's writing dui's it's blood money, they spin the clock on afternoons and then sit in court all day, god bless them they can have it. The undercover Sgt is another story. Something tells me there's a bit more to that story. These guys aren't making any arrests, not writing any paper and not testifying in court. Correct me if I'm wrong. They simply supervise their team writing warrants executing warrants surveillance etc. Now there is a clouted spot, $200k plus and a take home car. I bet they don't miss too many of their kids games either.

And whoever said get all the ot you can because it's going to end? Your wrong it's the nature of the job. They can stop the VRI VRE and special but the can't stop the extended tour or court. So if your willing to work 3rd watch and lock people up there is a lot of money to be made.

I wonder how much Rahm really makes from the city in a year.
I imagine it's in the millions.
I wish John Kass would write about this.

Im retiring in jan 18 and was wondering if any retired guys can tell me the % breakdown in payout for the three years ? Thanks

8/27/2017 08:11:00 PM

Really? How about you actually call the pension board or someone who can provide a factual number. You are asking a retiree on a public forum. Why educate the non Police who visit this board. Wake up!!

Because its easier to come on the blog and ask that question and get 4 different answers, probably all wrong, instead of just calling the pension
Plus what difference does it make You are going to get the same percentage whether you know or don't know

Great job money wise, but looking at the landscape now every extra hour you work especially in the anti-police ghettos, that is time from your family that may be extended time in prison when you lose your freedom-family-home all they have to do is throw you into the dishonest 24/7 media mixer and bam your done! Eddie will immediately strip you,and put you in no pay status (which means no health insurance either for you or your entire family), the investigation can take a long time as you sit and wait!

Wake up look at all the old cases being reopened, take a minute some alone time and think back on everything you may have did in your career and realize at any time they can reopen it and off you go on the wheel of misfortune!

Then you look at the coppers who relax, take their time, reactive no proactive policing, writing a report, advising warrants those coppers retire peacefully,and no worries! You say but I'm the "real police" a "hard charger" want to "impress my boss" because he/she is "great" and "has my back" that is funny it really is! When your sitting in federal court and are asked "state your assets and liabilities" your in that cold chair looking at the crowd, family in tears, you hear sobs look around where is that "boss?" Yep not their! that "boss" is relaxing, getting that 6 figure pension and thinking "I did it my way!" Family-health-pension-freedom-protect blue if anything else enters your mind on the streets resign immediately!!

I am happy to say I am one of those city employees and I rarely work overtime. Most trades are in that pay range.

Two things...

One. I should have never turned down CFD (long story, one of my only regrets in life). I'd be making north of 100K today...

Two. I should have asked family for a job. I'd be making 50% more than I am now. With less education required. I guess that is what being self-sufficient gets you?

Shitcago is my kinda town.
