RC,
Want to know who works in the 4J School District, Financial Services Dept and their contact info?  Go here:  http://www.4j.lane.edu/#  and do very little searching to find out.

There is a vast difference between private information and public information.  Citizens are the employers of government workers.  Citizens are entitled to know who those government employees are and what they are paid.  My guess concerning women's pay; that could only be done by this group if they collected the information they now seek.  Most government jobs are on a fixed and published schedule.  But there will be differences in pay for each person/job due to length of time in that job.

If one doesn't want public scrutiny, don't become a professional athlete, entertainer, personality, politician, or a government worker.
