MPS Spending Database

Tomorrow night Nov. 11th at 10:00 PM on Today's TMJ 4 newscast, they will be doing a story about the Milwaukee Public Schools spending database. You should be able to access this database sometime tomorrow at www.crgnetwork.com

These is more than $2.6 Billion dollars of spending over the past 2 and 1/2 years. In a nutschell, it is all spending to outside contractors in the above time period.

I have not seen the entire database yet, but I have seen small portions of the database and the results should astound everyone. I will let everyone make up their own minds as to what is outrageous spending but I think you will find more than enough to go around.

My only suggestion is make sure that you are sitting down when you take a look at this.

Just like the other CRG spending databases, this one will give you the vendor, the dollar amount of the check and in most cases, a invoice number. If you want to see the receipt or invoice, you will have to do an Open Records Request to MPS.

 

Good Luck
