Ohio leads nation in wage cuts
Ohio led the nation in having the largest hourly wage cuts for the past 10 years, according to a new report by Policy Matters Ohio.
Assemblyman Pete Goicoechea, R-Eureka, said during a teleconference meeting with Ely and White Pine County officials Friday that he thinks wage cuts for teachers and state employees were unavoidable but he also said he expected less than the 6 percent reductions Gov. Jim Gibbons called for during his State of the State address in January.
