January 6, 2009. SeeThroughNY.net has now been expanded to include the names, titles and base salaries of 427,759 New York City government employees. This is the first time New Yorkers will have a searchable database of city employees.

SeeThroughNY.net, launched in July 2008 by the Empire Center for New York State Policy, also includes the complete payrolls of New York's state government and of 19 state public authorities- including the MTA. Also posted are searchable databases of teachers' union and superintendent contracts for 733 school districts, legislative pork barrel items, and operations spending by both houses of the state Legislature.

The 2008 Hayek Lecture

The transcript from the 2008 Hayek Lecture is now available online. The Hayek Prize honors the book published within the past two years that best reflects Hayek's vision of economic and individual liberty. The purpose of the award is to recognize the long running influence of The Road to Serfdom and to encourage other scholars to follow Hayek's example. In 2008, Dr. William Easterly was honored for his book, The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good.
