Another sign of the digital age ... a new site called Legistorm has caused an uproar for posting congressional staffers' salaries, trips, and financial disclosures on the Web.

Though the info is in the public record, it is typically made available upon written request. Never before has it been served up for public consumption like this.

Some on Capitol Hill are furious because sensitive information — including children's names, home addresses, and bank account information — wasn't redacted in these files ... but apparently that is how the government provided the information to Legistorm.

What do you think? Is this level of transparency good for democracy? Or is it just another form of Internet voyeurism?

And if you are curious ... here's a link to the info. Happy hunting!
