yeah, stupid firemen and teachers need to take pay cuts, so that kasich can pay for the massive raises that he gave to his closest staff and friends. stricklands comm. directory made 89K. the same position under kasich now makes $120K. press sec made 70K under strickland, makes 90K now. oh yeah, then there's the made up position of "special assistant to the governor" that makes 145K... that he gave to one of his lehman brothers buddies. shared sacrifice indeed.
