Harrisburg, Illinois (ECWd) –
Latest example of township government brutally abuse taxpayerss Coming to you from Harrisburg Township.
By hiring friends and relatives, the township supervisor needs help in the general aid department he is allowed to hire to make general aid payments of just $200 to $400 each month. I think.
General support goes to administration and wages. Approximately 96% of expenditures from the General Assistance Account go to wages to administer the program.
General Assistance has four employees: an administrator, two clerks (husband and wife), and a bookkeeper. The Township Supervisor is responsible for general assistance to the Township.
Each month, the “Administrator” is paid $2408.00, the “Bookkeeper” $415.00, the “Clerk” $992.00 and $769.00 respectively, and most months $100.00 for general assistance. I only have 2-4 dollar checks.
