How much are Rauner's superstars making?

Since taking office, Gov. Bruce Rauner has assembled a team of budget and education specialists, whom he refers as “superstars,” to help implement the various reforms and policies the Governor says will turn around state government.

While questions have been raised over the pay of some members of his leadership team, particularly the funds from which they’re drawing their salaries, Rauner told Natasha Korecki of the Sun-Times that his team comprises the most talented people he knows:

“We are all about reform. We have assembled the most talented team of leaders that I know of to turn around a state government. I’m very proud of our team. And we are going to drive a transformation. The people of Illinois deserve it.”

Here are six of Rauner’s superstars, along with their title, previous experience and salary.
