The salary of many public sector employees in our region is just a click away. That includes mayors and judges, teachers, cops and professors. For nearly a decade, St. Louis Post-Dispatch data journalist Josh Renaud has worked to produce the paper’s massive, annual database of public salaries. The latest edition went live just a couple weeks ago. Renaud takes us inside the herculean effort of data-collection and how it impacts governments large and small. He also discusses the factors behind the City of St. Louis’ “glacial” 100 days to produce the records.
