McHenry Township Trustee Bob Anderson wants to do a little more than abolish townships. He wants to obliterate the salaries of the elected officials who run them. “If you’re a public servant, you shouldn’t be getting employee salaries,” Anderson said. On May 10, the township board will discuss cutting the pay of four officials – the supervisor, highway commissioner, assessor and clerk. The total compensation of township officials includes several layers, including base salary, insurance and pension contributions. Here’s a look at what McHenry Township’s officials earn today: • Supervisor Craig Adams – $97,610 (plus $1,000 to serve as road district treasurer) • Highway Commissioner Jim Condon – $106,919 • Clerk Dan Alyward – $14,242 • Assessor Mary Mahady – $87,994 Anderson declined to comment on how much he would like the see the salaries reduced.
