TweetOhio sheriff pays $3.8M in overtime, gives 62,000 hours of comp time
Associated Press
COLUMBUS
The sheriff in Ohio’s capital city will have a management study conducted after a newspaper analysis showed his office paid $3.8?million in overtime in 2011 and that deputies received 62,000 hours of comp time.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that Franklin County Sheriff Zach Scott requested funds for the study following its analysis of the office. County commissioners have allotted $89,000 for the review, which Scott believes will show the office needs more deputies.
The president of the police union representing deputies says they’re being paid for the hours they work, and that the county should talk to union officials if there are issues that need to be addressed.
The county’s $308 million budget for 2011 allotted $93 million, or 30 percent, for the office.

One good reason why Public employees should not be able to unionize. They are stealing our tax dollars!
Yea, get rid of public unions and make all public employees' jobs directly linked to the politicians.....therefore only the employees loyal to school boards, trustees, and mayors will get to keep their jobs after the most recent election!!!
Do you see how that makes ZERO sense? As a member of the public wouldn't you want your employees to be able to work free from political influence?
Think, before you hate.

I doubt that ever will happen in the Valley
It's us against them they are taking more and more of our less and less.They criminalize us to satisfy their justification of existence. If they decide whom the criminals are then they will ultimately imprison all that dare to question their actions.
They imprison with jails and worse yet with the immoral taxes that they ,the bottom feeders, live on.
It's not the employees that are mismanaging the Department and that haven't hired enough Deputies, it's obviously the Administration. Instead of automatically hating the Unions how about you target the Administrators with their heads in a hole in the ground.
