Governments agencies wield a lot of power; our power. We allow them to make decisions for us, whether that's through Congressional acts, agency rules, or school board decisions. But don't you wonder why things shook out that way? Don't you wish you knew what was on the note the aid handed that senator? Don't you think someone should be looking over their shoulder? So do I. Listen to the stories from others who feel the same, others who have used public records to make sure that the government uses your power in your best interest.

So much more than public records
Revealed tells the story of corruption, greed, and more, and how public records are the reason we even know these stories at all. You’ll become a public records advocate after listening.

Wow!!! Just finished the podcast and love love the ending! Hannah Marcley did a great job putting the pieces together and encouraging us all to be more conscientious and hold the state & organizations accountable... I did not know you couldn't trust the reports on the SOS website as to rightful disposition of donor dollars. Thank you for bringing this my attention and to the husband who saw it through to the end.
