Blackwell, Householder at odds over firings - zanesvilletimesrecorder.com Contracts released this week by Householder show the House Republican Campaign Committee -- funded largely by donations from GOP House member campaigns -- owes fired consultants Brett Buerck and Sisk $100,000 and $50,000, respectively, in severance pay.

Buerck and Sisk were fired by the caucus in early June, after they became centerpieces for federal and state investigations into alleged heavy-handed fundraising and campaign irregularities.
