Kane County Board members to consider raises for themselves, other elected officials
Updated 4/29/2021 9:19 PM
Kane County officials will wade into a politically thorny debate of whether to give raises to themselves, or possibly their replacements.
County board Chair Corinne Pierog has outlined the raise discussion twice in the last month to various groups of board members.
"Please don't think individually about your own vote; think about future boards," Pierog told board members earlier this month. "You're not just voting about yourself. Think what a future board member may want."
But Pierog is not up for reelection in 2022. Meanwhile, the entire county board is up for reelection thanks to reapportionment after the 2020 Census.
