FRANKFORT, Ky. (Courier Journal) — The Courier Journal is reporting Gov. Matt Bevin gave his chief of information technology a $215,000 increase in salary this month — a raise of 134 percent.

Charles Grindle is now being paid $375,000 a year in his job as executive director of the Commonwealth Office of Technology, according to the state government’s online database of employee salaries.
That salary makes him the highest-paid employee within the Bevin administration, making more than double what Bevin makes ($145,992).
The newspaper attempted to contact Grindle and Bevin’s communications office, neither responded with a comment.
