Sources and checks
Every source is public
36 datasets from the City’s open-data portal, 15 archived copies of its Statements of Financial Information (2011–2025), its council minutes and voting record. Every page names the file it reads.
See sources →Every total is checked
Each schedule is added up and set against the total the City prints under it. Where the two differ, or a report misprints a year, the sources page says where and by how much.
Read the checks →No one is named by accident
A payee or a bidder whose name could be a person’s is counted, never printed. Employees paid over $75,000 are counted by department, role and pay band, never listed.
The privacy rules →Adding another city
Every page of the site is built from the data the city already publishes.
