Many readers have e-mailed in with websites publishing public employees’ salaries. Legistorm does it for Congressional staff, and the Office of Personnel Management does it in a general way (not, so far as I can discover, at the name level). The OPM site also has general information on federal pensions.

Some states have it covered, too. Here is state employee salary information for Indiana. New York state, county, and town employees’ compensation is available here, though a few random queries suggest to me it’s not complete.

So what’s the fuss about over there in Long Beach?
