Sheriff Gives High Paying Job to Sister

* Is there a hint of a scandal in Montgomery County, Ohio?

Dayton Daily News:

Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer suspended his sister from her job appraising foreclosed homes for his office on Friday, Jan. 8.

Plummer is seeking an Ohio Ethics Commission opinion on the legality and ethics of employing his sister, Kimberly Solomon, in a job that paid her nearly $142,000 last year.

Plummer temporarily removed Solomon, who lives in Butler Twp., a day after the Dayton Daily News raised questions about her employment by his office....

And you wonder why you can't find a job! Apparently, Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer, a Republican, likes to hire Republicans. Ten of his eleven appraisers are Republicans. His sister sure got a cushy job! Is there anyone out there that would like to have $142,000 per year? Did I hear ethics investigation?
