The city’s highest paid employee was Bradley Townsend, same as last year. But Police Chief Douglas Woodard fell from second-highest to eighth, with a couple of fire captains passing him on the pay scale after each earned more than $27,000 in overtime pay last year.

Fire department command staff make up many of the region’s highest paid workers — caused largely by overtime — spurring citizen complaints in Kettering.

Local governments make payroll with your money, which is why the I-Team has assembled and made available a searchable database of pay for public employees.

2. Adam Blake, fire captain: $100,360
