Michael Jordan’s $200K property tax bill can’t cover Highland Park’s No. 1 pensioner

Champion News reports:
Michael Jordan may have paid $178,900 in property taxes on his Highland Park home in 2012.

But his property taxes aren’t even enough to cover the annual pension of Highland Park’s highest-compensated retired Teachers’ Retirement System member.

Linda Hanson, 66, is a former Highland Park Township High School District 113 superintendent who has been retired for more than 10 years.

She currently collects a $214,000 annual pension.

Hanson paid just $244,500 toward her pension. But she will collect $6.7 million over the course of her retirement.
You will not hear Barack Obama talk about the "inequity" in Linda Hanson looting the Illinois taxpayers. When you work in the public sector: Barack Obama thinks you levitate above self-interest.
