City of Albuquerque - "We work for the citizens"

The City of Albuquerque is making a statement under current Mayor Berry. "We work for the citizens".
 The city is working on putting the 6000 city employes into a list online that tells us their year-to-date earnings, on a website that tracks taxpayer funded salaries. The site, http://www.cabq.gov/abq-view , has previously posted only appointed positions and positions listed as the 250 highest paid workers. 

Barry said, "we shouldn't be ashamed or afraid to put out information that is already public information".
State employee salaries are made public by job title but names are withheld. The University of New Mexico has a list of all employees by name and salary in a single copy available at Zimmerman Library.

There have been problems with nopotism and discrimination in hiring. Today it is open for examination. On the city site you can look at who's working where, how much they're being paid, year to date earnings, and the position they hold. We're on the leading edge making it available and searchable, said Mayor Berry.
