[edit] Municipal salaries ruled public record

"A Washoe County judge Friday decided not to block the Reno Gazette-Journal's access to public employees' names and salaries and ruled that the information is public record under Nevada law.

Washoe District Judge Patrick Flanagan ruled against public employee groups and unions that sought an injunction blocking the municipalities from providing employee names. In his decision, Flanagan cited precedent that the public has a legitimate interest in the salaries of public employees."
