Still getting thousands: Workers' comp arbitrators remain on paid leave while probe goes on

BND.com reports:
Two state arbitrators continue to draw their salaries three months after being placed on leave in the wake of a federal investigation into the Illinois workers' compensation system.

The state placed Jennifer L. Teague, 38, of Shiloh, and John T. Dibble, 56, of Freeburg, who each earn $115,840 a year, on paid leave Feb. 15, the day after federal prosecutors issued subpoenas.

Illinois, how "progressive".
