All* US government salaries are public record. If you know your neighbors name and department/agency, there’s a good chance you can look them up.

Salaries are not the entire income. Corruption is usually some income in addition to a salary, but it may still be reflected in the tax record (that is, it's usually some service, board position, etc, not a suitcase full if cash).
Thus public tax records give a better transparency picture than salary records.
