Kentucky City To Broadcast Salaries
KENTUCKY...
Newport city officials hope to answer residents' questions about city finances with a plan to broadcast city salaries and other information starting next month.
The city will start broadcasting on public access television in January but hasn't picked a specific date.
City Manager Tom Fromme says he hears questions from citizen neighborhood groups frequently, many of them about city salaries.
He says about 60 percent of the city's $15 million in annual expenses is from police and fire department salaries.
