About these scores and findings: Scores, donor rates, and spike counts on this page are pattern-detection outputs computed from public records. They document correlations and timing patterns in the data; they are not findings of wrongdoing by any company, official, or agency.
Companies that donated to political committees affiliated with IDA-appointing officials received tax exemptions. This analysis documents a correlation between donations and exemptions; it does not establish that donations caused approvals.

How we calculated this
State summaries aggregate county-level data from Good Jobs First subsidy records cross-referenced with state campaign finance databases.

County scorecards use a composite weighted score (subsidy concentration 35%, donor overlap 30%, tax burden 20%, WARN notices 15%).
