Michigan Senate posts staff salaries online
LANSING, Mich. -- The Michigan State Senate has posted the salaries of its employees on
a
Web site. The decision announced Monday came after the
Lansing State Journal last
month created an Internet database with salary information for state employees. The newspaper's database does not list the salaries of legislative
staffers, though the paper has said it will file Freedom of Information Act
requests for the salaries of other public employees. Unlike the newspaper's database, the Senate database does not list
employees' names. It instead lists job titles.
