Calling All Members of Women for Lee Fisher
In three months, Ohio has had three directors of the Ohio Department of Development. The latest, Lisa Patt-McDaniel, is the lowest paid of the three. She’s also the only woman.

According to the Columbus Dispatch, (http://www.dispatchpolitics.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/02/24/ copy/capfish.html?sid=101), she makes $88,379. Her predecessor, Mark Barbash, who is on accrued leave at the rate of $128,356, makes nearly $40,000 more. He will be paid $40,000 to do nothing other than straighten out his personal financial affairs on the state dole.

Meanwhile, the new, lower-paid, tax-paying director will carry the load of a department tasked with bringing jobs to a state that is seeing jobs flee at a furious pace.

Barbash succeeds Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher who was paid $142,500 annually but now makes $75,000 so he can run around the state on our nickel and campaign for the U.S. Senate.

Two Questions:

1. Does the Lily Ledbetter Act not apply in Ohio?

2. What do Women for Lee think about this one?

This misses the point

You point out Ohio has has three development directors in three months. Given the state of the economy, shouldn't there be more than a caretaker in that job?

Instead, the guy who used to have it is being paid to run around the state and campaign. That is the primary issue.

Pay equity is the secondary issue
