Ada Hires Former Colleague Of Commish Case

 April 25, 2013 ⋅  Post a comment

A new Business Process Analyst at the Ada County Landfill is, “Already knee deep in projects,” according to county operations director Dave Logan.

The GUARDIAN received word that Benny Poole, a former hearing officer at the Idaho Parole Commission and former colleague of Ada Commish Chairman Dave Case had been hired April 15 at an annual salary of $55,000. Turns out its all true.

Case doubled his salary to about $90,000 when he was elected to the Board of County Commissioners. Poole will get a bump of about $10,000 over his previous state job.

Case confirmed he was aware of the opening at the landfill and suggested to his friend of 15 years that he apply. Poole applied and according to Director Logan, “He came highly recommended.” Logan also said Poole appeared to be a good fit for the position based on his interview.

Case told the GUARDIAN he made Logan aware his friend would apply, but instructed him to hire the best applicant for the job.
