Texsox Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Sun Times Linkage Firefighters often have part-time jobs for the days they aren't at their firehouses. It's no different for Kenneth Wood. But his arrangement when he isn't serving as a Schaumburg Fire Department battalion chief is a little more unusual and lucrative than the typical carpentry or plumbing gigs some firefighters have on the side. The Bartlett man doubles as a senior administrator in the Illinois State Fire Marshal's office. Though officially part time, Wood made $73,700 last year as manager of the fire marshal's technical services unit plus got the use of a state car. In his suburban firefighting post, Wood gets paid $98,000 a year. The $171,700 he draws from his two government jobs is more than what either of his bosses in Schaumburg or Springfield takes home and has become a new source of criticism for the fire marshal's office.

The Critic Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I think the pay is what's eating at people, not the fact that he has a second job. It'd be okay if he had a paper route for a 2nd gig, right? If he can do both jobs to his employers' satisfaction, I think it's OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
