Salaries of Elected Officials: anyone know how to find out?

[funkybutt]

Is there any site where one could find the salaries of state government elected officials and their staff? For example, salaries of state representatives?

1. Is this what you're looking for?

Salary

The annual salary of each Representative is currently $165,200, though the Speaker of the House and the Majority and Minority Leaders earn more. The Speaker of the House earned $212,100 during the 109th Congress (January 4, 2005-January 3, 2007) while the Majority and Minority Leaders earned $183,500 (the same as the Leaders in the United States Senate). A cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) increase takes effect annually unless Congress votes to not accept it. Congress has the power to set members' salaries; however, the Twenty-Seventh Amendment prohibits a change in wages from taking effect in the same two-year term in which it is passed into law.

4. Thanks..

that is helpful. The list is pretty incomplete. I wonder why some representatives info appears there, while others aren't listed.
