They’re Working For You
What public employees will be making in 2009
Posted Dec 05, 2008.

Public employees work for the taxpayer. Plain and simple.

In an era where obstacles to public information are being thrown up by lawmakers, what we pay them cannot be kept a secret.

When reporters for the Nisqually Valley News contacted various agencies about pay for public employees, some voiced displeasure at the idea of that information appearing in the newspaper, and others speculated on the motivation.

It’s information that every citizen has a right to. Anyone can seek public information, and they don’t have to explain or justify their request to anyone.

In the spirit of democracy and transparency in government, the following is the first-ever Nisqually Valley News list of what public employees are earning in Yelm, Rainier and Roy:
