Geez CFM, nothing like pissing a few people off.

I don't get it. I wouldn't have posted that site for all to see just simply because I know that several people on this board work for the government and that it might make them uncomfortable. Just because you don't perceive this as risky, doesn't mean you should make that decision for others, especiallly members this board who offer you information, a seat on their boat, etc. when you need it.

Your thread will not lead to a better/more efficient government, and more importantly, will make it difficult for many PP board members to take you seriously in the future.

You pride yourself in saying it like it is, but make sure you think before you talk, or post for that madder. My impression on this thread is you just wanted to stir the pot rather than create some sort of grass roots movement to better government.

Requests to the Gov't for information on specific salaries, or whatever else one can think of, creates a lot of work for the agency and wastes even more of our tax payers dollars. And in the end what do they get? It should be a request that is made only if one really has a use for the information.

Every Fed/State/County and local agency has their own pay scale and benefit package, so blanket statements made about government workers are never accurate.

Glowball - Government agencies, in my experience, take the time to follow all State and Federal rules when performing Public Works type job. Occasionaly, and way more than is acceptable, private sector employers put the environment or employees lives on the line to get a job done more quickly - risking life/environment in order to turn a bigger profit.
Don't jump to conclusions based on a snapshot of what you see when driving down the road.

I don't go to a fishing web site to gather info on politics, and I would not be able to sleep at night if I knew that the guy/gal that shared the right leader length, or fishing report for their area felt as uncomfortable as you made elkrun and others feel.

Elkrun sure doesn't need me to speak for him, but that example was the firs to come to mind.
