What’s left out

What the pages leave out, the files leave out too: individual donors, people named in lobbying reports, payments to individuals (the checkbook lists organizations only), school administrators’ contact details, private court cases, and anything about the people who use Iowa Funnel.

Files start with a UTF-8 mark so Excel reads accents correctly. Money is in dollars except where a column says “millions”. Found a mistake? See corrections.
