25 people with the highest pensions in the state as of April 1, 2014.

Here’s a list of 25 people with the highest pensions in the state as of April 1, 2014.  This list is from:  http://www.rebootillinois.com/2014/07/02/editors-picks/kevin-hoffmanrebootillinois-com/top-25-highest-illinois-government-pensions/19817/?utm_source=hotlist_20140707&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=

You’ll notice many of the pensioners are/were employed by the University of Illinois-Chicago College of Medicine. Last year, the Better Government Association found that a handful of UIC employees retired, began collecting their pensions, and then were rehired after waiting the required 60 days in order to work part-time for a smaller salary.

Similar to the Naperville police chief who “double dips” — collects a pension on top of a taxpayer-funded salary —  nine UIC College of Medicine employees on this list are receiving pension payouts along with salaries.
