County payroll records show that in June 2010, the executive's office consisted of 30 full-time staff, not 19, and included a photographer for Levy at a salary of $71,900. That position was eventually eliminated by the county legislature. Also, Levy's budget and labor relations offices, both of which are vital to the functioning of the executive branch, employed an additional 27 top- and midlevel staff.
If Steve Levy wishes to tell the world what a lean office he has, he should include all the facts.
