A public tracker that connects what residents pay into the system with what they actually get out of it. Budget sources, allocations, outcomes, and community-submitted evidence — all in one place.
In 2025, a Maine resident named Nathaniel Fields posted a question that thousands of people feel but can't prove. Maine collects billions from its residents every year. Where does it go? Why aren't we seeing the results?
That gap is exactly what this tracker is built to close. Facebook threads scroll away in 48 hours. The pothole stays. Stop posting. Start documenting.
Right now, step 6 barely exists. That's what we're building.
Browse all tracked communities in Maine. See budget totals, active projects, and evidence counts for your town.
Browse Communities →Where does the money come from? Excise tax, property tax, grants, fees — broken down by community and year.
View Budget Sources →How was the money allocated? Track each fund distribution with responsible roles and spending status.
View Allocations →Did the work actually happen? Log and verify outcomes — achieved, partial, pending, or failed.
View Outcomes →Community-submitted photos, public records, and field observations. The paper trail the argument needs.
View Evidence →Have a photo of a pothole that's been there for years? A needle on a playground? A budget line with no results? Submit it here.
