So your opinion on the income of Cincinnati 911 workers (who are supposed to be getting a raise) has what to do with the topic? The Chicago number is well over the national average, and the Cincinnati number is more than meter readers make. There are also good benefits that go with any sort of municipal job.
I'll also remind you that a 2LT needs either a college education or 5 years of service (I think) before they can sign. A 911 operator needs neither. Someone working for me starts at $45k, but what does that have to do with anything? They're two completely different jobs, each with their drawbacks and requirements. I don't see how you can equate a 2LT and a 911 operator simply on salary.
