Transparency in public pensions

Some states guard individual pension payments for public employees as a matter of privacy, but not Massachusetts. The Massachusetts State Treasurer's Office just released a 2,205 page report that details the amount of money each recipient of a state pension in that state receives. The Boston Herald has created a database that allows you to search it by name, but apparently not by amount of benefit. You can find Michael Dukakis on there ($30,033.72 annually). A former medical school faculty member tops the list at $232,000.00 annually.
