High-paying jobs are created for two former workers at Cuyahoga County Board of Revision

With Plain Dealer Reporter Gabriel Baird

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A worker who was ousted and another who resigned this month from the Cuyahoga County office that considers challenges to property assessments now work in Auditor Frank Russo's office in jobs that didn't exist two weeks ago.

Neither job was posted. The public was not permitted to apply. The jobs pay $65,808 and $58,000 a year.

Robert Chambers was tossed out of his job as administrator of the Cuyahoga County Board of Revision after an audit found the office to be dysfunctional and mismanaged.
