"I do not speak irresponsibly. The minimum prevailing wage in Illinois for a janitor with 6 years of experience is $19.72 per hour. Source: http://www.state.il.us/agency/idol/rates/other/jan/sdupage.htm Without overtime that is $41,000+ for full time work ($19.72 x 2080 hours, 52 weeks times 40 hours). It does not take a lot of overtime at the rate of $29.58 oer hour to get to the $60,000 level and that salary level is not uncommon for supervisors in the government sector. Janitors in the private sector earn considerably less. Non-union private sector even less. I do not like high government salaries and the article I linked to as a sample shows that the county administrator in my county earns $131,000+, got a 26% raise and will get a starting retirement pension of $111,000 per year. I do not think a county administrator has the value par with that of a nation, but that is my opinion, and that is why I believe the tribal council salaries are responsible. I do research before making statements.
There are four people named and accused of less than satisfactory performance. I do not know if those accusations have merit. May I assume that those not named are doing their jobs? Would a unilateral cut, because of the four named, be fair to those who are performing? I think it more fair to deal with those who do not perform or are corrupt than to punish those who serve well because its easier. But, ahhh, yes! Those who serve the people should do so from the goodness in their heart. I think those who judge another's heart should be careful and respectful."
