In the U.S., there are both Federal and State level FOIA laws.

Information accessible varies according to the specific act you are trying to invoke. They are analogous to one another, but not the same.

In general, they allow the public access to the workings of government. Minutes of meetings, records of bids, and etc. are open. Copies of Vital Records are usually not specifically covered; most states have exemptions to access to personnel records. You may be able to find out what someone is paid, but not when that person was born.

We annually request the salaries of county employees at work, for instance. But not their personnel files.

Why are public servants not elected to their jobs?

Public servants are not elected to their jobs because they are typically appointed based on merit, qualifications, and expertise in their respective fields. This system aims to ensure that government operations are managed by professionals who can implement policies effectively and efficiently, regardless of political influences. Elected officials, on the other hand, are chosen by the public to represent their interests and make policy decisions, while public servants carry out those decisions administratively. This separation helps maintain a stable and impartial civil service.
