“Ok, I give up, why does a county, any county need to employ neurosurgeons (plural)?”
Cook County Hospital, now Stroger Hospital. They treat more gunshot wounds than any other place in America. Average cost per victim is nearly $500,000.
Multiply that by 3,000 or so a year and pretty soon you’re talking real money.

Re: “Front line was spared” and post #7.
So, non-essential County personnel make 600K a year? Each?
Huh. Who’da thunk that.
I’ve been laid off. There’s always another job if you look hard enough.
Not anymore! Hit the bricks you paper pushing, rubber stamping tinhorns!
300-plus jobs to save $200 million?!? A couple of years like that, anyone should be able to retire (unless they're kickking back most of their pay to their mob-corrupted union, that is). Thanks AT7Saluki.
Dat funneh!
Let the thugs bleed out.... problem solved.

Why does the county have Neurosurgeons on their payroll?
Plowing snow pays pretty well in Crook County.
They occasionally need to produce a live, but still brain-dead voter for show to divert the need to purge the voter roles.
The County democrats justified the soda tax saying it was for the health of children. They didn’t realize people are fed up being nickel and dimed at every turn by government. Cook county residents started to shop in collar county grocery stores to save some money. The tax cost the county and businesses inside the county revenue. Typical democratic logic. I guess since the tax has been repealed they don’t care about the children anymore.

My point exactly...I didn’t get that far because it was boring.
Actually, Chicago DOESN’T matter to me, at all.
I’d be surprised if all of these are actual people losing actual jobs. In a lot of cases in governments they cut budgets by cutting jobs that are not currently filled. It doesn’t save any real money, but makes the budget look better.
WHY should I care about Chicago. Never been there, no intention of EVER going there. All interests in reading the story further were lost to the omission of information making I t relevant to the average (non-Chicagoan) reader.
Chicago doesn’t matter to me either but this news is an excellent way to start the Thanksgiving celebration. With their individual skill sets and the improving economy, all of these people can be redeployed in other areas which should benefit the economy overall and provide a more productive way for them to spend their work life. This is excellent and hopefully the start of many more moves just like this in the future.
Good. A more deadbeat group would be hard to find.
Only on the surface - these workers will be quietly given other Cook County “lean on the shovel” jobs when the news coverage dies down Crook County, Illinois Never cuts anything when it come to government spending/wasting tax payer $$.
