I wish they didn't disclose both the company name and the title since some companies create a title just for one person. It takes no effort to figure out who's making what, myself included -_-

Open data / Gov 2.0 and that whole spiel is great but it'd be nice if privacy was given a second thought, even if it's the data of non-citizens

In most states you can look up any state-employee's salary by name.

Right, but they publish the salaries of all employees. If they published the salaries of just the out-of-state workers, we have a similar scenario.
