Who local governments paid, and who gave to the officials in charge
Every contract, payment and grant on the site, linked to who received it, to other payees on the same project or address, and to business gifts to the officials who approve the spending. Tap any name to follow its connections.
What a line means
- A gray line is money from a government or agency. Thicker lines carry more dollars in the records. A contract award and the check register payments on it can describe the same money, so record types are never added together.
- A dashed line is a documented link between two payees: the same project, the same address, or one working as the other's subconsultant. Each one cites its record.
- A red line is a business campaign gift, and a dotted line joins an official to the board they sit on. A city commission also sits as its redevelopment agency's board. Only businesses, PACs and committees are shown, never individual donors, and none of this shows wrongdoing.
Paid by a government, and gave to a campaign
Each business in the middle was paid in the records on the left and gave to the campaigns on the right. Gray lines are payments (thicker means more dollars in the records), red lines are campaign gifts. Tap any name to highlight its lines and see its records. A gift and a payment together are facts about the records, not evidence of why either happened.
Who the governments paid
Drag a circle to move it, drag the background to pan, and scroll, pinch or use the buttons to zoom. The graph starts from one name: search above or tap a name anywhere on the page, then tap any circle to add its connections. "Donors and top payees" shows every payee that gave to a campaign or has a documented link plus the 40 largest, and "Every payee" shows all of them.
Every payee, ranked
Business gifts to officials and candidates
Each row totals one business or group's gifts to one official's most recent campaign, or to a 2026 candidate, from Supervisor of Elections reports. Donors that were also paid by a local government are listed first. "Likely" means the names matched after a hand check rather than exactly. Gifts from individual people are counted on Campaign gifts but never named.
Sources and method
Payment records cover contracts, change orders, emergency purchases, check registers, tourism agency payments and CRA ledger records, from agendas, check registers, tourism agency payment files and each redevelopment agency's reports; every record links to its source. CRA ledger items that are only proposed or planned stay on the CRA ledger. Payees are matched to the site's vendor list by name. 604 payees are named; grant programs whose recipients aren't named are grouped, and private home addresses are left out. Campaign gifts come from officials' most recent reports and 2026 candidates' reports with the Supervisor of Elections; 29 businesses both gave to a campaign and were paid in these records. A gift and a payment appearing together is a fact about the records. It says nothing about why either happened, and most spending is approved by the full board.
