[edit] Bill would stop public disclosure of state workers' salaries
"A Web site that lists the salary of every state employee by name has triggered a bill to protect their identity, pitting the public's right to know against the privacy of individuals paid with public funds.
The Maine Heritage Policy Center, a Portland-based conservative advocacy group, launched the Web site http://MaineOpengov.org last September to track payrolls, pension payments and checks written by the state to individuals and businesses. The searchable database identifies every position by the name of the employee who holds it."
