Lack of info disappointing

Posted by Magda
My colleague Scott Tracey is working on a story for tomorrow about the extension of interim CAO Hans Loewig's contract. When he asked the mayor what Loewig's salary would be, she wouldn't tell him. She explained that will be made public this spring, when the salaries of all civil servants making over $100,000 are released.
It's unfortunate whenever the city isn't open about how it spends tax money. It's especially puzzling in cases where the information will be made public anyway.
