Where the money went

$79,384.19 in 141 payments to 29 different recipients since 2023, as this committee itemized them. Itemized payments run through 2026-04-28. 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.
