What your government did. Where the money went. What they were required to tell you.
Four lanes of public record — investigations, FOIA responses, civic meetings, and budget figures — organized for the public they belong to.
Investigations
Public power exercised behind closed doors eventually leaves a paper trail. This lane follows the trail — document by document, timeline by timeline — until the sequence of events is established and the record can stand.
FOIA Responses
The law requires an answer. What the answer looks like — how complete, how delayed, how redacted — is as revealing as the documents themselves. The full request-and-response pair is published here.
Civic Calendar
Public decisions are made at public meetings. Most residents never know when those meetings occur. The Civic Calendar publishes every scheduled session in Tazewell County so the record of what was publicly available is clear.
Budget Watch
The approved budget is a promise. The ACFR is what actually happened. Budget Watch compares the two — line by line, fiscal year by fiscal year — and publishes what the gap between them reveals.
