Topeka — Republican leaders who have pushed for cuts in state employee pay have been generous paying their own staffs, according to state payroll records.
For example, Brent Haden, chief of staff to House Speaker Mike O’Neal, received a one-time payment of $20,000 during his first week of employment in January, according to the records. The payment is listed as a pay rate adjustment. Haden makes $90,000 per year.
If this story is accurate, this really upsets me. I would really like to hear from the leadership about these payments. Kansas residents deserve an explanation.
