Private group pledges to post public pay
A private group promised Tuesday, Jan. 5, to post online the budgets, salaries and other financial data for 3,000 local governments in Ohio by April 15.
OpenOhio.org is a project of the Ohio Citizens Accounting Standards Board, which is a private non-partisan research group. The board’s funding and backers are undisclosed.
“We are not ready to go public with our structure yet,” said Michael Mauer, a former newspaper reporter who now works as the editor for the board.
The group plans to publish online financial data that will allow Ohioans to check on how local government is spending money on salaries, contracts and other items.
“This is extremely helpful to our organization,” said Eric Weber of Kettering Liberty Group, which is associated with the Dayton chapter of the anti-tax Tea Party. The data can be used to determine whether proposed levies or tax increases are merited, he said.
The group already published salary information for school district employees and state workers. That information is available by clicking here.

This guy — whoever he is — is a nut case with an anti-social mindset.
