Athens police face slowdowns over low starting pay
Dewey Stokes of Capital City FOP says Athens rookie pay of 7384 dollars per year is too low while northern Ohio departments show higher entry salaries. The six day work slowdown continues as the FOP cites 1974 75 studies and neighboring university towns with starting salaries above 9500. Talks resume with City Council and FOP seeking raises and a ratified agreement.

City police maintain a work slowdown not issuing minor offense citations while sick leave appears to be reviewed. Safety Director Phil Goldsberry reports 104 hours of sick leave used since January and notes no consistent abuse evidence. Tensions rise over a less than 5 percent pay offer with a potential Thursday walkout as negotiations stall.
