By Illinois Review
Illinois House Republican Minority Leader Tony McCombie earns an annual salary of $145,000 – collecting an additional $52,000 as leader on top of her $93,000 salary as a legislator – making her one of the highest paid politicians in the state.
Illinois lawmakers remain some of the highest paid in the country.
While lawmakers may spend more than 60 percent of their time doing legislative work, the position is considered quasi full-time, meaning many lawmakers have other jobs when they are not in session. Some lawmakers run full-time law firms and real estate firms, while others work in marketing and business development since they are only in session around five months out of the year.
