State Controller John Chiang launched a completely redesigned website
showing wage and benefit data for public employees across California.
The renamed site – publicpay.ca.gov
– offers maps, search functions and custom report-building tools. It
also includes the latest compensation data available, and allows users
to download raw data for their own research.
"Real accountability begins with empowering the public with easy
access to the budgeting and payroll decisions of our civic leaders,"
said Chiang. "Through innovation, California can strike a blow against
abusive compensation practices that thrive on poor transparency.
"This site is completely data-driven, and allows users to dive right
into the numbers they want. But it does remain a work in progress,
and my office will continue to improve and expand this public pay
project," said Chiang, who launched the original site in 2010 site after
ordering cities and counties to report payroll data to the State.
