LD 1353, “An Act Regarding Salary Information for Public
Employees,”
would censor the taxpayer-paid salaries of
some 90,000 Maine government, school and other public employees, trampling the
right of the public to review how their hard-earned tax dollars are spent by
local and state officials.  Censoring the names of public employees opens
the door for massive taxpayer-paid bonuses, salary hikes and secret deals to
occur in the shadows, because this vital information would become inaccessible
to citizens and the media.
