Your property taxes pay for government workers’ guaranteed salaries, benefits and pensions while you get no such guarantees – Wirepoints on with Jeff Daly of WZUS Decatur Radio
Ted joined Jeff Daly to discuss why Illinois’ property taxes are such a national outlier, why Illinoisans are forced to pay the high, guaranteed salaries, benefits and pensions of the government class, why Illinoisans aren’t getting their money’s worth for what they pay, the teachers unions’ influence over elections, and more.
Private companies get sued for this, in multibillion dollar settlements. The public sector wags their finger at them and pounces.
In the meantime, we have such antiquated systems in Illinois that an employee has to upload–manually–to a website, sensitive information.
All because public employees will not allow any “extra” funding to go to important things like replacing technology, equipment and improving the services for taxpayers.
I really do despise these public employee unions.
