An investigative report examining TVA's refusal to disclose employee salary data despite being a federally-funded public entity. Stephen Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, criticizes TVA's secrecy as part of a culture of arrogance and unaccountability, arguing that federal employees' salaries should be public information. The article explores ongoing FOIA battles and questions about TVA's accountability and executive compensation practices.
