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.

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.
