Lack of leadership is right.

I have to agree with concerned. It appears nothing is done until the media exposes it to the general public. Then these politicians act all contrite and are going to instill some type of policy to address this. I guess if the media hadn’t got a hold of this these employees would have gotten another $500,000 or so in overtime for the next four years. I bet they are all ticked off. Don’t be surprised if they all cancel their subscriptions to the Lexington Herald!

Exactly right daniel. The LRC employees have very little to do when the legislature is not in session. Why does it always take an investigation or inquiring media to enact change? Speaking of which, has anyone noticed the two large dumpsters behind the annex? I guess those renovations that were put on hold are going ahead as planned before the end of the fiscal year.

What Bob Damron does not expose is that 90 percent of the year, his employees leave at 4:30 eachday– only 60 days do they work beyond 4:30 and then they just sit there to do nothing because leadership likes having the staff around.

This article just insults all hard working state employees. Do you think things will actually change. Things will never change until every cent with every name is available to the public. No one else in State Government can even receive one of those payments per year period. They are not allowed to receive them at all. If the LRC employees do not like they work so much, tell them to take another job. I am sure a lot of people would working for those large salaries.

So unfair that LRC employees get more overtime than anyone else in state government. Their salaries are much higher to begin with and this just adds insult to injury. Better late than never with your policy to limit I guess.
