I thought you might like that site--
(I linked this post to the wrong post of yours-oops)
I have looked up teacher salaries and people I know
who told me they work for peanuts in their civil-based
employment--Renton firefighter--4944.00 a month.(2003)
Renton Library Director-- 7496.00 per month(2003)
the police captain there made 6792.00 per month (2003)
peanuts.

I had been looking for retirement plans and stock holdings.
lobbyist--
publicintegrity.org
I thought there was a link to federal programs there

land conservation but some crops also (maybe wheat)
but that is for my cousin to decide as the estate
has given him authority to run the day to day on the
ranch/farm (no cattle for the last couple of years,
my uncle died of cancer and was too sick to handle them
and sold them but didn't want to leave the ranch)
[I AM PART OF THE PROBLEM!----like those actors,writers you hear about]
I do know those names are public.
I think this table is interesting about defense contractors:
publicintegrity.org
