A growing, searchable record of major local contracts, vendors, change orders and votes—with the difference between proposed, approved and spent kept in view.
This expanded pilot tracks six county actions. It is a reporting ledger—not a complete accounting system—and will grow as official records are reviewed.
Search the agency, vendor, project or service. Each record links directly to the government source used to classify it.

Big numbers travel fast. The record underneath them deserves equal attention.
We use this label only when an official recap or minutes reports approval. Approval does not prove execution, invoicing or payment.
An agenda's word “approve” is a recommendation to the board. Until minutes or another official record confirms the vote, the item remains pending here.
A contract cap authorizes a maximum. It is not proof that every dollar has been spent. Invoices and payment records are separate evidence.
A sole-source agreement, change order or large price is not a finding of wrongdoing. The ledger flags unanswered questions without inventing misconduct.
