The Sunlight Report

We Investigate Power. We Publish What We Find.

The Sunlight Report is an independent civic watchdog. We audit public agencies, investigate records, and expose how local decisions are made — and who benefits.

What We Do

What We're Auditing

We’re reviewing spending, procurement, and oversight practices in regional planning commissions, economic boards, and other quasi-public bodies. If it affects communities and evades scrutiny, we’re interested.

What We've Exposed

Our work has uncovered hidden records, misleading denials, and inflated public document fees — revealing just how hard governments work to avoid scrutiny. See how officials respond when asked for the basics.

How You Can Help

Send a tip. Volunteer. Donate. Or just share what we publish. Transparency isn't automatic — it’s something people demand, protect, and build together.
