CENTER SQUARE
— Grant Wehrli bill filed in Illinois to bar private pay for public employees
after Gov. J.B. Pritzker shells out $3 million for staffers – Greg Bishop
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/bill-filed-in-illinois-to-bar-private-pay-for-public/article_e563d918-330f-11ea-beb1-63b278b2e70e.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State
Rep. Grant Wehrli, R-Naperville, said the move sets a precedent that could make
it difficult for future governors of more modest means to attract quality
employees. “Governance should be now and going forward based on how we can
deliver for the people of Illinois,” Wehrli said. “It should not be based on
who can pay their employees the most through private dollars. It is the height
of hypocrisy when the Illinois Democratic party decries outside dollars in
politics and state and federal government, yet they’re silent here.” Wehrli
said there’s no way to see how the private dollars are being used to pay public
employees. “Are they doubling the salary? Is this a bonus for getting
legislation passed? [That] would be of extreme concern, basically, that’s pay
for performance when it comes to governance and that would be highly
unethical,” Wehrli said. A better way, Wehrli said, would be for the supplementary
pay to come out of a campaign fund, such as Michael Bloomberg did when he
served New York’s mayor. That would at least show how the money flows, Wehrli
said, but even that raises questions. “Running it through a campaign account
would add some clarity, but not enough clarity to where I’d be OK with it,” he
said. Wehrli said Pritzker’s wealth would be better spent elsewhere in state
government. “We have this thing called a bills backlog, it’s been building for
decades,” Wehrli said. “Maybe he just wants to write a check and clear out the
bills backlog. That would be a better use of his private dollars.” As of
Thursday, the state’s backlog of unpaid bills stood at $6.8 billion. Pritzker
is reportedly worth about $3 billion. The governor’s office did not return
messages seeking comment. Wehrli said he will file legislation to try and curb
the practice, but being in the minority party, he doesn’t expect it to advance.
State Sen. Jason Plummer, R-Edwardsville, filed Senate Bill 2320 this week to
bar private dollars from being used for public employee salaries. That measure
says no state employee “may receive monetary or other compensation from any
private party for work performed within the scope of his or her employment by a
state agency.” Lawmakers return to Springfield later this month.)

in 2014 hatched a company-wide plan to eliminate older employees through
large-scale discriminatory layoffs—called “Resource Actions.” Among other
things, IBM allegedly manipulated the performance review process by directing
managers to reduce the annual performance ratings for older workers and then
use those sham evaluation scores as a key factor to justify picking older
workers to be discharged. So-called “early professional hires” and recent
college graduates were exempt from the Resource Actions.)
