Bill Brady Denies He Wants 10% Budget Cuts

[DaveZiffer]

Jim Edgar is certainly the guy to advocate for keeping Illinois taxes high. His annual pension is $130,908 funded by Illinois taxpayers – $10,909 a month. He retired at age 55 in 2001, so he's been paid over $1M already. Edgar also gets $177,630 a year for being a “Distinguished Fellow” at the University of Illinois. His annual taxpayer-funded income is $308,538 – $25,711 a month. No wonder Republican gubernatorial candidate, Bill Brady, recently passed on a photo opportunity with Edgar.
