What They Say
We document public meetings with transcripts, summaries, and structured data. Every promise, every projection, every commitment — searchable and trackable across years of decisions.
Where The Money Comes From
Property taxes. Sales taxes. Excise taxes. Utility taxes. Business taxes. We track every revenue source — what was projected, what was actually collected, and which policies created the authority to collect it.
Where The Money Goes
Budgets show intent. Actual spending shows reality. We track both — and connect spending back to the meetings where it was authorized and the promises that were made.
What They're Proposing
As laws are being discussed at the state and local level, we track the proposals, the promises made about their impact, and the actual outcomes once they're implemented. Every bill, every amendment, every fiscal note — connected to the meetings where they were debated and the budgets they affected.
Following The Thread
Some stories require connecting years of meetings, policies, and budget decisions. Our investigations trace how individual decisions accumulate into outcomes nobody voted for.
