Top 10 overtime earners in each state department

The Providence Journal requested these lists of state employees' salaries and
earnings -- which must be made available to the public under the state's
Open Records Law -- to take a closer look at the cost of state government
as state leaders have been debating issues such as layoffs and
the privatizing of some state jobs.
