When There Are No Secrets

9 October 2003

Ask Yahoo wanted to track down the salaries of the governors of the fifty states. They weren’t all that successful. I tried to track down the salaries of the CEO’s or directors of state lotteries for those states that have lotteries. I got only partial information.

This sounds like an excellent job for a properly categorized weblog. It could capture the salary and fringe benefits of state and municipal employees. Remember, in many states, the highest paid person on the state’s payroll is some football or basketball coach at one of the state universities!
