You work for a State government, which is hypothetically controlled by the citizens& taxpayers of the state& since you're a taxpayer aren't you entitled to know the qualifications of a employee/potential employee? It's not like this is a Fortune 500 company and you're just some consumer who wants to know more about the way it's run. We wouldn't want someone convicted of embezzlement to be running certain depts, would we? You as a taxpayer have a vested interest to know that the government (and all its wonderful depts.) are doing what it can to provide the services it renders effectively& efficiently .
Then again where I work after someone is hired for a job at supervisor level or above, the HR dept. sends out a notice basically outlining the person's qualifications including by not limited to education, job experience and what they have done thus far at our company.
I personally don't think that is too personal a question to ask unless of course it puts the person in a bind if they answer you truthfully. Questions might be asked if a local newspaper found out people were being hired who did not meet the stated requirements.
