UNDER THE RADAR: Full-time salary, part-time hours
Dixon Township supervisor had another job for first 2 years
DIXON – Elected officials with full-time salaries typically work full time. The sheriff does. So does the county clerk and circuit clerk.
But Dixon Township’s supervisor worked only part time in 2009 and 2010.
As supervisor, Doug Farster, elected in 2009, pulled down a salary of about $56,000 a year, far more than Dixon’s median household income of $40,550. However, during his first 2 years, he still worked for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, making nearly $80,000 a year.
