As I understand Ms. Schabes has been with the City for approximately 5 years.
I've been told by several reliable sources (although not by Schabes herself, obviously) within the City that makes between $125,000-$150,000/annually.
As the Director of Lakefront & Downtown Development she is to do just that...develop these areas to make them viable, contributing and successful pockets within the City of Waukegan.
When Mayor Sabonjian took office we were shocked and appalled that he kept Ms. Schabes on the payroll. I personally have heard him refer to her as a "czar." He shared this comment to guests during this year's Mayor's Lunch at the Genesee. I was in attendance.
I agree with you all...what the hell has she done for the City of Waukegan (pardon the language)? I am a Waukegan resident who is interested and involved and want nothing but the best for this place. I am not a business owner but have a stake in the success of this city; I'm told she's more of a hinderance to progress than anything else.
Like I said in my other post...let's get off our asses and start questioning these people...You pay them! You should not be afraid to question your city leadership...as a matter of fact, as Waukegan residents WE are in the driver's seat, not them.
This is the website that "should" lead to information about Lakefront & Downtown design plans...it's utterly sad that with a city of 90,000+ residents this is all we get. Check it out! After you do, e-mail Mayor Sabonjian @ <!-- e --><a href="mailto:mayor@ci.waukegan.il.us">mayor@ci.waukegan.il.us</a><!-- e --> and Robin Schabes @ <!-- e --><a href="mailto:robin.schabes@ci.waukegan.il.us">robin.schabes@ci.waukegan.il.us</a><!-- e --> and request an updated report of current progress be posted on the site or be available in hard copy for you to pick up at City Hall. I'll proudly and respectfully be sending my e-mail this afternoon!
