PublicSource wants you to know how your tax dollars are being spent. We believe it’s important to make the salaries of city, county and state employees easy for you to find because there are taxpayer dollars at stake.
PublicSource received 2014 and 2015 salary data from Allegheny County through a Right-to-Know Law request, the state’s open records law. You can download the full salary data using the link at the bottom of the page.
Karen Hacker, director of the Allegheny County Health Department, was the county’s highest-paid employee in 2014 and was on pace to be the highest-paid employee in 2015.
