Public Union to Seek Changes to Open Records Law

Chad Blair/Civil Beat

The head of Hawaii's largest union says he will seek to alter the state open records law in the coming legislative session to limit access to information about public employee salaries.

Randy Perreira, executive director of the 43,000 member Hawaii Government Employees Association, told Civil Beat Wednesday that he has two main concerns about the publication of salaries by Civil Beat:

• The names and salaries of law enforcement employees.
• The exact salaries of any employee whose salary doesn't come from the general fund.
