Welcome
to Rhode Island's premier government transparency
website. Using our
unique  application,
you can track government budgets, payrolls,
and contracts at the state, municipal and school
district levels, as well as comprehensive plans, tax delinquencies,
and foreclosures at the municipal level. You will also find a report card
on compliance with this transparency initiative, organized by town and school district.
The
RISC Foundation has created this website as a
service to the citizens and taxpayers of Rhode Island.
But, The Money Trail is more than just an information
clearinghouse. It is also a platform for taking action
to force government accountability and responsibility in accordance with the Access to Public Records Act, R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-2.
To that end, and in cooperation with its fine co-sponsoring
organizations, this website offers a variety of tools
for individual citizens to make their voices heard.
Its goal is nothing less than a revolution in the
way public business is conducted in Rhode Island. 
Before you get started, you may want to read the
