After losing bid for Erie County executive, Dixon joins comptroller's office

The speculation ended Thursday about where former Erie County Legislator Lynne Dixon would land after her unsuccessful bid to unseat Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz.
Dixon began work Thursday as the new secretary for Republican Erie County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw, earning an annual salary of about $50,000.
But Mychajliw, in the process of reorganizing the office, said he intends to upgrade Dixon's title to associate deputy comptroller for communications and community relations. In that role, which she may assume in a month or two, she would earn an annual salary of roughly $90,000.
