Every government employee should have their salary disclosed.
I was living in Ohio some years ago when one of the local papers got hold of the salary figures from several state universities and published those numbers. They were public record, but when it became widely known how much money we were paying to tenured professors in esoteric subjects, it really hit the fan.
I’m a Contract Specialist with the VA. I have the 27 years of work experience and the education for the job.
My salary?
$40,875.00
Yes, ALONG WITH the non-salary aspects of compensation: health-care premiums paid for the employee, pension contributions, etc., etc.
