Ohio governor pressures PR staff size to 40 plus
Ohio taxpayers support a large public relations staff of 40 to 50 writers photographers and helpers across state departments. The payroll ranges from 300000 to 500000 yearly with many workers not shown bylines and serving officials who receive credit for articles speeches or letters. Officials say the headcount includes top PR personnel totaling about 137000 annually, though many roles are administrative or not listed. Rhodes administration has expanded PR staffing for campaigns and state projects, while press conferences with the governor remain infrequent.
