There are 64 people in Greater Sudbury paid from the public purse making more than $200,000 a year.
The annual list of public sector salary disclosures — more commonly known as the Sunshine List — was released today.
Since 1996, Ontario has released a list of publicly paid employees earning more than $100,000 a year. The idea behind the release of information, the province says, is to ensure openness and accountability to taxpayers in regards to public salaries.
And so, since then, the province has released the annual disclosure. The disclosure must be made prior to March 31.
The act applies to organizations, including the Government of Ontario, Crown agencies, municipalities, hospitals, boards of public health, school boards, universities and colleges, Ontario Power Generation and other public sector employers who receive a significant level of funding from the provincial government.
And while the disclosure covers every public employee making $100,000 or more a year, those at the very top of the list make considerably more than that. You can peruse that list below.
