What this data cannot show
- An obligation is a binding commitment to pay, not money paid. Outlays are reported separately and the two are never equal in the same year.
- Nothing in this record says who decided where the money went. A district is where the work was recorded as performed, not a member of Congress’s account.
- This page covers every congressional district the publisher reported and not only the largest hundred the ranking names. Both come from the same download of the publisher’s data, on the date above.
