The "Joe The Plumber" Snoops Get Busted

I do not know if the government figured out exactly who all snooped into the private life of Joe Wurzelbacherm A.K.A. Joe the Plumber, but several people at one Ohio agency are getting reprimanded for their illegal antics.

The workers I am talking about in this instance, all worked for the Ohio Department of Jobs and family services. Some workers received only written reprimands, others got UNPAID suspensions. You can read the article here, and see their names and what kind of reprimand each received.

The one that struck me the most was the agency Directory Helen Jones-Kelley received a one month UNPAID suspension. It said that she would lose about 11,828 in salary, are you serious?! That is more than a lot of people make in a year! This is an agency that helps the unemployed and poor of the state. I understand that it is a very important job, but that amount seems a little high to me.

I don't know. I am not a "share the wealth" kind of person, but I think if the higher ups would not get quite so much pay, or bonuses, etc then the running of these types of agencies would not be so costly and we could help more people.
