This is a little dated:
• • Bruce Washington (primary campaign manager for Todd's dad) -- director of capital planning policy -- $133,424.
• • David Fagus (49th Ward Democratic committeeman) -- was earning $87,479 as executive assistant at Cermak Hospital, now the COO earning $113,703.
• • Matt Deleon (pal of the finally fired Gerald Nichols, unofficial county patronage chief whose records were raided by the FBI) -- jumped from $87,478 as an administrative analyst to a whopping $141,725 as secretary to the Board of Commissioners).
• • Cedric Giles (son of a convicted alderman, relative of a former state rep) -- leaped from a $62,052 accountant to fill a two-year vacancy in the comptroller's office, an arguably non-essential job, with a huge pay boost to $103,187.
Hey, let's not forget Todd's friends and relatives.
• • Donna Dunnings (John Stroger's niece, Todd's cousin) -- remains budget director at a salary of $142,820.
• • Carmen Triche Colvin (wife of Todd's best friend, state Rep. Marlo Colvin) -- promoted from the Forest Preserve to County Purchasing Agent. Former salary, a tidy $95,000. New salary, a tidier $126,670.
• • Monique Martin (Todd's sister-in-law) -- becomes his personal secretary at $64,983.
I could go on and on. Oh, heck, why not?
• • Mark Kilgallon (19th Ward clout) jumped from $141,725 to $159,815, now working as chief administrative officer.
• • Kim Gilmore (close pal of Todd's) -- promoted in human resources from a mere $112,670 to $141,725.
• • Derek Blaida (former Daley aide) --new head of intergovernmental affairs making $130,019.
• • Dwight Welch (mayor of Country Club Hills who recently got a pay raise as mayor) -- also works for Stroger cousin Donna Dunnings in the Budget Office. Nice salary there too: $104,030.
• • Frank Zuccarelli (Thornton Township Democratic committeeman) -- works for recorder of deeds, makes $82,105.
• • Marlo Kemp (former assistant to John Stroger) -- now deputy CFO jumping from $90,228 to $127,423.
