Hamilton County CEO?
Dusty Rhodes doesn't want Patrick Thompson to get a big head.
Rhodes, Hamilton County's Auditor, takes exception with an Enquirer graphic that noted Thompson, Hamilton County's new administrator, "will oversee about 5,000 employees."
"In fact, the County Administrator actually oversees only the office of and departments under control of the County Commissioners. They have 449 employees currently -- or about 7 1/2 percent of the county's total," Rhodes noted in a Friday press release.
Rhodes' stresses that Hamilton County has three elected county commissioners and eight other separately elected officials -- Auditor, Treasurer, Coroner, Clerk of Courts, Engineer, Sheriff, Recorder, Prosecutor-- with employees.
"The truth is that the independent elected officials and their employees do not report to the Commissioners or their Administrator and accordingly the County Administrator does not "oversee" their work.

Post a Comment*And who writes the budget for Dusty's office? Grow up Dusty, everyone knows your name already.
Dusty's right. Heimlich and Dewine blew it and wasted nearly 3/4 of a million dollars in taxpayer money.
Typical Dusty. He does however, point out the problem with County Government. There is no real single point of acccountability in the County. Each elected official has its own fiefdom.
