Salaries of the Escambia employees now posted

Anyone who is interested in what salary that any of the employees at the various local governmental agencies are being paid can now find out the information at the click of a mouse. The Independent News ( http://www.inweekly.net ) has posted a salary data base that has search capabilities that enables you to search for an individual by name, by job title of by the entire agency. If you want to know what every employee of the Sheriffs Department (Escambia) or the City of Pensacola which includes the Police Department is being paid all you have to do is enter a search for the entire Sheriff’s Department and the entire payroll beginning with the highest paid in descending order to the lowest paid is opened up. If you want to see what all the Lieutenants are paid, just enter a search for Lieutenants at the Sheriff’s Department and that information will open up. It is very user friendly data base. The data base includes salaries paid to those at the BOCC, City of Pensacola, Clerk of Court, Elections, Property Appraiser, Sheriffs Department,
(Escambia only), SRCO (does not include Santa Rosa Sheriffs Dept.), and the Tax Collector. If you made a request for this same information at the Sheriffs Department, you’d get stonewalled and if they did furnish it would charge you an exorbitant amount. The data base link is on the front page of the Independents web site titled “WHO MAKES $ WHAT, County and City Data Base” Kudos to the Independent for publishing the information that the tax paying public have a right to know. We can now see where most of our tax dollars are being spent and who is benefiting from those dollars.
