YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County prosecutor’s office will begin a cost-saving floating holiday policy next week and continue it indefinitely due to the county’s financial crisis.
Prosecutor Paul J. Gains announced today that each assistant prosecutor in his office will take 1 1/2 days off without pay in every two-week pay period, amounting to a 15-percent pay cut, and he will make a comparable rebate to the county from his $112,000 annual salary.
Gains conducted a news conference to announce the new policy in his office, which he detailed in a letter to Judge Maureen A. Sweeney, administrative judge of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.
