LAS VEGAS - Should the names of retired public employees be public, along with the amounts of their pension? But in 2013, courts ruled that a separate report containing the names, pension amounts and related information was public, and ordered it released. Flash forward to Friday, when democratic state Senator Julia Ratti of Sparks introduced Senate Bill 224, which would specifically keep names confidential, but release the ID number, pension amount and some other information. Ratti got a similar bill through the 2017 session, but it was vetoed. Ratti and the public employee unions who testified in favor said the bill is needed to prevent identity theft, protect public workers including police officers and to shield vulnerable seniors from unscrupulous scam artists. And Ratti also contended that even though the contributions to PERS come from taxpayer-paid salaries and local government matching funds, they aren't taxpayer money. Privacy. When we are prying into their individual accounts, we are not looking at taxpayer money, we are looking that that individual's earned benefit, no different than if I wanted to know about the contents of each of your personal retirement accounts," said Sen. Ratti. And Rob Fellner of the NPRI said some lawmakers voting on the bill have a conflict, since there are several state and local government employees and retirees serving in Carson City. Ratti's 2017 bill passed the legislature on a party-line vote, so it's probably got a good chance of passing this time around.

The official, Bill Priestap, will retire from his post as assistant director of the FBI’s counterintelligence division by the end of the year. Priestap, who participated in the bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server and the FBI’s initial probe into Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates during the 2016 presidential election, has testified before Congress on multiple occasions regarding the bureau’s handling of both investigations. Here’s a look at other top FBI officials who have since left the bureau, or been removed: Former FBI Director James Comey James Comey, the highest-profile of the lot, was the first to go, though he has remained in the spotlight ever since his departure. President Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017, after a recommendation from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who pegged his advice on Comey’s handling of the Clinton investigation, though other factors are suspected of playing a role. One week after Comey was fired, Rosenstein, who oversaw the Justice Department Russia investigation after former Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself, appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate. Comey said he believed McCabe was a “good person,” but that he “lied.” McCabe, who served as acting FBI director from May 2017 until August 2017, when FBI Director Christopher Wray was confirmed to his post, was removed as Wray’s deputy in January after months of conflict-of-interest complaints from Republicans, including the president. Page and Strzok both worked on Mueller’s Russia investigation. Page left the special counsel’s office in the summer of 2017 after serving a short detail, and Strzok was removed and reassigned to the FBI’s Human Resources division after the politically charged text messages were uncovered last year. James Baker served as FBI’s general counsel and left the bureau on May 4—the same day as Lisa Page. He served as chief of staff to Wray in the first months of his leadership but left the bureau amid scrutiny over his role in the Clinton email investigation.
