Every state.
One way to follow the money.
Explore reported spending for every U.S. state. Open a functional ledger, compare FY2024 with FY2023, and follow each number to the published record.
Reported general expenditures include transfers to other governments and exclude utilities, liquor stores and insurance trusts. These figures describe actual financial activity on the source accounting basis, separately from enacted budgets.
