SUPERVISOR HEATH OHNMEISS QUESTIONED WHY SECRETARY KATHRYN HARPER IS BEING PAID OVER 26 DOLLARS AN HOUR—THE SAME RATE AS HER FULL-TIME PREDECESSOR. OHNMEISS ARGUES THE TOWNSHIP IS OVERPAYING FOR THE PART-TIME ROLE, WHILE HARPER MAINTAINS THE TOWNSHIP'S OVERALL EXPENSES ARE STILL LOWER THAN BEFORE SHE CAME ONBOARD.
