We created a more readable summary using the data from State of Iowa Department of Management to model a template for monitoring County operations, in the same manner as we developed for city budgets. Our hope is to get enough funding to monitor ongoing local city and county operations using published claims payments and articles so that there is continuity of information for better understanding of our local government operations and finances.
