We hope you will explore this site. But mostly we hope you will use the data to hold our elected leaders and government agencies accountable for their actions.

*Note: FY 2008 contains a full year of contracts data, but only the first two quarters of federal assistance data. FY 2009 contains only the first two quarters and a small amount of the third quarter of federal contracts data.
