At the top of the list was John LaRock, Developmental Disability Superintendent. His wife, Jill, director of community services, was fifth. The I-Team wrote about that relationship last year, as well as how many households it takes to cover these salaries using the county's taxpayer-approved levy.
The number of Greene County employees who made more than $100,000 last year grew to 11 from six the year before. This wasn't the only local government to see increased in six-figure salaries, a recent I-Team investigation found.
Greene County’s five highest-paid employees last year:
1. Developmental Disabilities Superintendent John LaRock: $148,347
2. County Prosecutor Stephen Haller: $115,703
3. Developmental Disabilities Adult Services Director Deborah Capuano: $115,426
4. Developmental Disabilities Finance Director Frank Latona: $111,217
5. Developmental Disabilities Community Services Director Jill LaRock: $110,770
None of these workers made as much as anyone in the top 10 in neighboring Montgomery County.
