Your ombudsman makes $45K.

He is the point on your spear when you are fighting against
"improper government activity".

The people whose job it is to keep you from finding out about
"improper government activity", earn three times as much.

There is one ombudsman. There are God only, knows
how many Public Information Officers.

Do the math.

We would be a whole lot better off with a hundred ombudsmen
with subpoena power and, earning a hundred grand a year and,
one PIO.

After all, how many people does it take to tell the truth
as opposed to spinning it?
