Databases: Even More Fun than FOI

The Houston Chronicle posts a search engine that can be used to search the salary of every public employee in the city and county. If you really want to know, click here.

No longer need to file the FOI. Don't even have to go to the public library. The public records on your desktop.

Colleague at a public school remarked this wasn't fair. How can they get phone records? How can they see salaries?

Until you go to work in the private sector, guess what -- "they" are the people, and "they" pay the bills.
