Salaries at agency go through the roof

-

JobsOhio increased its payroll last year by 23 percent, despite the fact that its performanc­e was down 13 percent while it added 13 new employees (“More of staff getting big pay at JobsOhio,” Dispatch article, last Thursday). The director is now making $445,036! Mind you, his predecesso­r was making $142,000 before Gov. John Kasich privatized the organizati­on.

The agency now has nine employees each making more than $200,000 a year. The catch is we are not allowed to look at what they are doing because there is no transparen­cy here.

This is all being funded by taxes on alcohol. JobsOhio must think we are all drinking more and cannot see the folly here.
