Despite strict limits on adding new employees imposed last year, Ohio still hired 17 administrators earning six-figure salaries, two workers for state park golf courses and a prison chaplain, records show. The golf course workers were hired for state-run courses at Deer Creek State Park south of Columbus and Shawnee State Park in southern Ohio. The state’s six golf courses bring in nearly $2 million a year in greens fees, and these workers are critical to maintaining that revenue stream, said Natural Resources spokeswoman Beth Ruth.
