Map: Missouri State Government Spending in FY2017
Last month the Show-Me Institute published an extensive dataset of state spending from the Office of Administration, stretching back to FY2000 and through FY2017. Given the success of the Municipal Checkbook's app, we decided to render one for the state for the past fiscal year.
Users can scroll through the vendors with whom the state did much of its spending, zoom in on a map of vendors to see who does a lot of business with the state in your neighborhood, and look at spending and transaction patterns between the state and vendors over the course of the year.
(This is a data visualization page with an interactive Tableau dashboard, not reproduced here — see source_url. The app processes over a million transactions.)
