Senate confirms Stickrath as Public Safety Director
The Ohio Senate on Wednesday, June 2, confirmed Gov. Ted Strickland’s appointment of Tom Stickrath, 55, as director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety.
Stickrath was confirmed along with a number of other Strickland appointments by a 31-0 vote.
Stickrath replaces Cathy Collins-Taylor whose appointment as public safety director was rejected by the Senate, 18-15, last week. Stickrath had been director of the Ohio Department of Youth Services.
The Senate rejected Collins-Taylor’s appointment in the wake of her role in a controversy surrounding a canceled contraband sting operation at the governor’s residence in suburban Columbus. The sting involved an effort to intercept contraband to be delivered to an inmate at the residence.
Stickrath’s salary is $128,544, the governor’s office said earlier.
The Senate on Wednesday also was to consider legislation ending the inmate work program at the governor’s residence.
Strickland already has suspended the inmate work program after learning last week of inmates consuming alcohol while in the program.
