I think the guy that puts the "Wash. St. Employees Salary and Job Title" information on the web ran for state treasurer or somesuch once but lost.

Maybe he was brained for just running cause he's dumb enough to put his own info on the web for all to see. If you want to contact him the info follows...

When he's not working he loves to fish.

Here's a quote from Mr. Blooms website:

A city of seattle employee e-mailed me and said:
"This is great that you have put up the information so that the people can see openly who and how much they are paying for government--so they may make up their own mind whether they receive fair value or not."

The washington state court of appeals said in november 2002:
"free and open examination of public records is in the public interest, even though such examination may cause inconvenience or embarrassment to public officials or others."
