[edit] Having salaries public is intended to make government more open

"Should you be able to know what public employees are paid?

A range of people -- from legislators to journalists -- think you should.

The Eagle obtained public salary databases through open records requests. But the state also is working to post state salary information on KanView (http://www.kansas.gov/kanview/), which shows revenues and expenditures and is intended to bring greater openness to government."
