City Fights Blogger On Display of Public Information

Posted by Zonk on from the security-through-obscurity-right dept.

rokkaku writes "When the gadfly blogger Claremont Insider went searching for information about employee compensation on the city of Claremont web site, they never expected to find scans of pay stubs for all the employees. Nor did they expect the city attorney to demand that they remove copies of those pay stubs from their web site. They found it especially odd since, according to California law, the compensation of public employees is public information."

    Ah, so it's "post a counter assertion without any effort to actually provide some backing" day at Slashdot. Or wait, is it just the advertising you are doing in your signature that you are posting about? Lame.
