$112,000-a-year job

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Michael Billirakis was guilty of ethics violations.
Michael Billirakis, the former Ohio teachers-union chief convicted of ethics violations while on the State Teachers Retirement System board, has a new state job.
The School Employees Health Care Board hired Billirakis, 63, of Pickerington, as its executive director. He started the $112,000-a-year job Wednesday.
The board was created by the Ohio General Assembly in 2006 to study the feasibility of creating a statewide purchasing pool for all health-care benefits. The group released recommendations the following year that it said could save school districts up to $120 million a year in health-care costs.
Board Chairman Stephen Loebs said Billirakis was a unanimous choice. Billirakis disclosed the ethics violation in an interview for the job and told members that the conviction had been expunged from his criminal record, Loebs said.
"We did a complete vetting on Mr. Billirakis," said Loebs, professor emeritus with the Division of Health Services Management & Policy at Ohio State University.
