Where the money went

$107,355.86 in 10 payments to 5 different recipients since 2023, as this committee itemized them. Itemized payments run through 2025-11-21. Its Spent column below is the full reported figure; where that is larger, the difference is spending the state's itemized file does not carry — most recently because the newest reports have not reached it yet.
