Who the redevelopment agencies paid, and who gave to their boards
Every payment, contract and grant in the CRA ledger, linked to who received it, to other payees on the same project or address, and to business gifts to the officials who sit as each CRA's board. Tap any name to follow its connections.
What a line means
- A gray line is money from a CRA. Thicker lines carry more dollars. Contract records that sit inside a larger project total are shown on the payee, but counted once in the totals.
- 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. Each city's commission or council sits as its CRA's board. Only businesses and PACs are shown, never individual donors, and none of this shows wrongdoing.

Where the money went

Every payee, ranked
Business gifts to CRA board members
Each row totals one business's gifts to one official's most recent campaign, from Supervisor of Elections reports. Donors that were also paid from a CRA ledger record are listed first, including gifts to officials who are not on a CRA board. "Likely" means the names matched after a hand check rather than exactly. Springfield and Parker officials reported no itemized business gifts. Gifts from individual people are counted on Campaign Money but never named.
Sources and method
Payments, contracts and grants come from the CRA ledger, compiled from each agency's annual reports, Auditor General filings, resolutions and news coverage; every record links to its source. Payees are matched to the site's vendor list by name. 43 payees are named; grant programs whose recipients aren't named are grouped, and private home addresses are left out. Campaign gifts come from the officials' most recent reports with the Supervisor of Elections; 4 businesses both gave to a campaign and were paid from a CRA record, and 219 business or PAC gifts went to CRA board members. A gift and a payment appearing together is a fact about the records. It says nothing about why either happened, and most CRA spending is approved by the full board.
