include such things as salary, social security, interest, dividends, rental income and
money from retirement funds such as IRA's; and,
WHEREAS, that financial disclosure information will be placed on the state's Internet
site; and,
WHEREAS, compliance with the new state disclosure requirements will drastically
discourage citizens from participating in public service; and,
