Jackson County Payroll
Jeph Burroughs-Scanlon, Sanders’ communications coordinator, makes $49,003. Calvin Williford, Sanders’ former campaign manager and current chief of communications, makes $115,003.20.
Sanders hired two senior transition advisers this year to smooth the transfer of county governance from Katheryn Shields’ administration to his own. Anita Maltbia makes $60,008. Larry Blick made the same as Maltbia until last April, when his position was phased to part time; now he makes about $30,000.
Remember Joan Dickey, Shields’ administrative assistant – whom Shields fired after Dickey was pictured in the Independence Examiner celebrating at Sanders’ primary campaign party? Dickey now makes $50,000 as a logistics and resource supervisor.
Jim Nunnelly, administrator of the COMBAT anti-drug program, makes $90,563.
Sanders himself makes $108,014. His Intergovernmental Relations and Communications department has a budget of $614,418. For comparison, the budget for this same department in 2006 was $198,235.
Burroughs-Scanlon tells the Pitch that the budget and job cuts Sanders is requesting will affect every county department. “The executive office will be a part of the same cut,” he says. – Nadia Pflaum
