Here’s a fun way to kill some time: The state Controller’s Office has just published salary information for every local jurisdiction in the state in a semi-searchable database. The information does not include the names of employees, but it does include job titles, total actual salary and public contribution to health and retirement plans.

Below is a handy quick-link list of relevant local jurisdictions. See anything interesting?
