Name: Joseph Crosby on Apr 13, 2009Comments: Information regarding the expenditure of public monies should never be withheld from the public. Making confidential the salary information of individual public employees, and publishing only general salary information, invites abuse. Those who work for the public and who are providing value to taxpayers should be unafraid of their salary information being published. I urge you to reject LD 1353.Flag

Name: Mark Wellman on Apr 13, 2009Comments: As a tax payer I have a right to see how my tax money is spent. The government has a responsibility to show transparancy in its spending of tax revenues to the people it serves. The only reason I can see for LD1353 is because you want to hide something.Flag

Name: Kenneth Capron on Apr 13, 2009Comments: Transparency is a check on government secrecy. The possibility of some future event hapening as a result of open access to public records is no reason to create an exception to full disclosure. The rights of the people far outweigh the desires of government.Flag
