The Star has posted a list of the 20 highest-paid officials in Indiana. Naturally, four of the top ten are coaches at state universities, starting with the highest paid, IU basketball coach Tom Crean who earns $2.943 million. Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter earns $2.079 million, followed by Purdue football coach Darrell Hazell at $1.886 million and IU football coach Kevin Wilson at $1.276 million.
Seven of the top 20 paid officials work for Citizens Energy, which helps explain why your water and sewer bills are skyrocketing. CEO Carey Lykins is pulling down an absurd $1.932 million to maintain his permanent, year-round suntan. Senior Vice President William Tracy earns over $981,000 a year. Vice President of Water Operations Lindsay Lindgren is paid $904,770. The nonprofit's CFO pulls down close to $700,000 a year. A pair of senior vice presidents, Margaret Richcreek and Jeffrey Harrison, are paid $670,000 and $569,000, respectively. I wish someone would expose how much money Citizens wastes on suites and tickets for Colts and Pacers games to entertain our corrupt politicians and all of the wasteful consulting contracts with other members of the downtown mafia who support their racket masquerading as a public benefit corporation aimed at keeping utility rates low.
