In September, 2007 the Liberty Coalition discovered a pdf report on the Iowa Legislature General Assembly website, containing the names, social security numbers, and employment information for approximately 109 members of the military. The report was to the members of the Legislative Fiscal Committee, from Steve Linder, Chief Operating Officer, State Accounting Enterprise. Subject: Monthly Military Pay Differential Report.
The page was taken down within a few business hours of notification, by the Iowa State Legislature Webmaster, and the webmaster requested that the link be removed from search engine caches.
