Lawrence County hires fiscal administrator amid hiring debate
Lawrence County Commissioners created the post of fiscal administrator with John Carran at a $55,000 salary. The move, routed around a hiring freeze, places Carran under county administrator James Gagliano, his brother in law. Carran shifts from mental health work to oversee finances for children and youth services, while his previous role remains unfilled. The columnist questions the pattern of adding staff rather than boosting existing productivity and notes potential future changes after the next election.
