From the article:


“About a month after Delgado-Polanco was tapped to run the agency in August, 26 staffers, many of whom had worked at the SDA under Democratic and Republican governors, were fired.

By October, 33 new hires, including many people with ties to Delgado-Polanco, were brought on to fill some of the positions opened by the firings and a host of new jobs titles that were created under the new CEO.

Fourteen of the new hires were brought on at salaries that top six figures and reach as high as $170,000. At least 10 of those top earners either worked with Delgado-Polanco in the past or at companies represented by unions Delgado-Polanco worked for, or had other close ties to the new CEO.”
