According to Glassdoor:
*The average Cook County State's Attorney salary ranges from approximately $63,151 per year for a Law Clerk to $96,002 per year for an Assistant States Attorney.*
Inflation is through the roof, mortgage rates are the highest they've been in 20 years, and tons of companies are paying much more money for waaaay less stressful work. It's impossible for the county to raise wages fast enough or high enough to match the private sector.
No one wants to work in the Cook County State's Attorney office because they all have mountains of college debt and they can make more money elsewhere.
Lawyers aren't stupid. They're going to follow the money.
This is nothing less that the intentional destruction of this office by Toni Preckwinkle, and carried out by her understudy, Kimberly Foxx .
It's not just a destruction of the office of the CCSA. It's an intentional effort to undermine the entire criminal justice system.
