CRG Network Government Accountability in Spending Project Keeping Track of  How Government Spends Our Money

Welcome

Relying on Open Records laws, volunteer database and Internet professionals, and grant money from persons and organizations interested in promoting greater government transparency and accountability, CRG Network has embarked on an effort to publish all government spending in the State of Wisconsin in a series of online, searchable databases known as the Government Accountability in Spending Project (GASP). It is our hope that by making it easier for average citizens to track government spending, they will take a greater interest in government, ask more questions, and demand greater accountability in spending. After all, it really is your money.  Now you can quickly find out what it was spent on.

GASP is being funded by the Citizens for Responsible Government Foundation, CRG Network's 501c3 educational institution. Charitable donations to this project are tax deductible. Those wishing to support the project can forward checks to CRG Foundation, Inc., PO Box 371086, Milwaukee, WI 53237 or contribute online by CLICKING HERE.  Be certain to specify your donation is for the Government Accountability in Spending Project (GASP).  If you would like to work with CRG to add your unit of government to the list call our volunteer line at 414-801-0800 or contact project director Chris Kliesmet at 414-429-9501 for assistance.
