Boone/Winnebago County officials want Metra trains. Everyone should take a look with what comes with the train.
Executive Director Phil Pagano may have gotten an unauthorized $56,000 bonus late last summer…. Mr. Pagano, who is paid $269,625 a year in regular salary, has held Metra's highest staff job for two decades
"Metra does not pay bonuses. Metra pays (only) annual salaries. We are looking into the matter you asked about," she said. "We are thoroughly investigating the matter."
Mr. Pagano "is currently not conducting any Metra business." That is "at the request" of Metra board Chairwoman Carole Doris, the spokeswoman said.
Metra was hit with a huge scandal four years ago, when former director Don Udstuen pleaded guilty to shaking down Metra contractors for kickbacks. He received an 8-month prison term after cooperating in the government's prosecution of former Gov. George Ryan.
