The city of Springboro paid 4 employees more than $100,000 last year, the same number as in 2016, according to the I-Team Payroll Project searchable database of public employees.

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.

Two of the city's top-paid employees held the same job. Former city manager Christine Thompson retired in October 2017 after 28 years with the city and was paid $100,090 last year. She was replaced by Christopher Pozzuto, formerly assistant city manager, who was paid $107,382 last year.

An I-Team investigation last year found the ability to cash out unused sick and vacation leave is a rare perk in the private sector, though local governments are on the hook for tens of millions of dollars worth of these payments.
