$15 to 20K? Holy shit, I bet people are lining up around the block to apply for this one.

 

Hey, I grew up near here. Hahaha. That's in the part of Ohio known as Northern West Virginia, mostly because it is part of Appalachia. Very, very, very poor. The sad part is that the shitty wage they're offering is probably more than most people in the area make in a year.

 

For that kind of money - or slightly more - one could be the SE at the Williamson Daily News. Its a daily paper DEEP in Southern West Virginia (across the river from Belfry Ky.)
The paper recently lost its SE. Like Gallipolis, its a Heartland Publication paper.

 

Gallipolis ... about halfway between Charleston and Columbus on U.S. 35 on the Ohio River.

I wish I could add more, but I've only driven past it.
