Open Data
Every claim on this site is backed by public records. This page provides downloadable datasets so you can verify our work independently. All files are CSV format, openable in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application.
Data principles:
- All data comes from public records (NYS Authority Budget Office, NYSBOE campaign finance filings, FEC, Congress.gov, NY PSC rate cases)
- No personal information is included beyond what appears in public filings
- We show our work. If we say “74 IDA beneficiaries donated to the Langworthy apparatus,” you can download the 74 rows and check each one
For the methodology behind our cross-reference analyses, see our Methodology page.
