Dissenting opinion

Apparently posting the salaries of these individuals brings some sort of satisfaction to the author (seriously, what is the public interest in publishing individual names rather than the position salary)? Even if you technically CAN legally do this (specifically singling out people by name), it doesn't mean that you should or that it's the best or most ethical journalism approach. Some may disagree, but I think it's a tactic that these kind of stories appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Wow- professionals with specialized credentials and skill sets making a professional salary- how scandalous! I hardly see how someone with a Civil Engineering background making in the low 60's is "shocking." Nor is someone working in a supervisory capacity in law enforcement (with all the risks and skill sets involved there) making a similar salary so outrageous. How exactly is this newsworthy?
Why stop here? Why not publish the salaries of you and your staff?
