Iowa allows you to look up all state employees' salaries.

Wandering around the Des Moines Register after getting a link there, and found they have a page where you can look up any state employees' salary. What an idea. Accountability in local government.

Also who's getting what medicaid payments, etc. We could use this on a national level. I suppose it wouldn't hurt in California either. There are some awfully high-paid state employees here.

I love wandering around local papers on the web. They even have a web extras page, full of the latest links. Check out the page about endangered birds, including recordings of bird songs you can listen to. And the one on farm subsidies.
