OUR WORK

Refer Your Community for Review

Local Government Accountability (LGAI) is actively conducting fiscal feasibility studies into the budgets, debt, and spending policies of local communities across the country — work undertaken on behalf of the citizens those governments serve.

To protect the integrity of active work, LGAI does not publish the list of communities currently under review. What we can share is our standard: every study relies on primary public records, follows the same disciplined framework, and answers to the public — never to a candidate, campaign, party, or government.

Do you believe your local government’s books deserve a serious, independent reading? Refer your community below. Every referral is reviewed by authorized LGAI staff and treated confidentially.

Local accountability matters in communities of every size. Smaller cities and counties often operate with fewer independent reviewers, making accessible records and disciplined public oversight especially important.Illustrative editorial image — not an actual LGAI investigation.

Tell us which jurisdiction and what looks wrong. If the public record supports a full study, we may open one.

Referrals are reviewed only by authorized LGAI staff and are never shared with candidates, campaigns, parties, or any third party.
