Kentucky governor creates an economic development position
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Gov. Matt Bevin’s administration has created a new position in the Cabinet for Economic Development that comes with an annual salary of $250,000 to improve workforce development strategies.
Gill says the goal is to make Kentucky a national leader in engineering and manufacturing. Sarin led Shelby Industries LLC, a manufacturer of towing and trailer equipment that closed recently. He is the president of a professional services firm and has contributed to Bevin’s campaigns.
State Democratic Party spokesman Daniel Lowry said Sarin’s salary was an affront to state workers who haven’t received raises.
