that article is just

�Donahue and county commissioners worry that increasing the pay for jailers or the jail administrator will undermine Sheriff Mike Boone and his deputies. �

oh, undermine it more than having everyone quit so there is no jail for them to use?

This implies that the deputies were also being paid $11 an hour.

Ninja edit: ah poo poo, copchat. Point still stands though.

Possible reason:
Blago once called Obama a motherfucker

quote:

Blagojevich appears to have started thinking about approaching the President-elect's [Obama's] transition team almost immediately after the election, according to the FBI complaint unsealed Tuesday in Chicago, which is based on wiretapped conversations. In a discussion with his deputy governor on Nov. 5, Blagojevich talked about getting an ambassadorship or a Cabinet position (like Secretary of Health and Human Services) in exchange for the Senate seat. [That Obama was vacating] The same day he said, "I've got this thing, and it's f______ golden and, uh, uh, I'm just not giving it up for f______ nothing. I'm not gonna do it."

Things don't appear to have gone well in the following days, however. On Nov. 10, Blagojevich allegedly held a conference call with his wife, close aides and a handful of Washington-based advisers in which he complained that the advisers were telling him he had to "suck it up" and give this "motherf_____ [Obama] his Senator. F___ him. For nothing? F___ him." At this point in the complaint, it's not clear whether Blagojevich, his advisers or any other representatives had actually approached the Obama transition team. Over the next two days, however, Blagojevich stepped up his efforts. On Nov. 11, Blagojevich told his chief of staff and fellow defendant in the complaint, John Harris, that he knew Obama wanted someone identified in the complaint only as "Senate Candidate 1" for the Senate seat. But, Blagojevich said, "they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation. F___ them." (See the top 10 unfortunate political one-liners.)
