Trustee's new salary suit to save $$

Craig Leuthold

Well, it looks like interim Knox County Trustee Craig Leuthold has filed his salary suit, which is technically his budget (for the most part).

I’m still skimming through it, but it appears to save $73,000 if you compare it to the one filed in January 2012 by his predecessor John Duncan III. 

However, if you go from what Duncan filed to what Leuthold is actually paying out in salaries to the entire staff, it’s more like a $350,000 in coin savings.

He eliminated one full-time positions and has three other open positions that he doesn’t plan on filling. He also has one less seasonal position.

Additionally, Leuthold is not paying out travel allowances, nor is he giving out CTAS bonus money.
