Built from the Erie County Comptroller’s weekly vendor-check reports.
Download
The Comptroller posts a report of every vendor check written that week.
Clean
Every line is read, and company names are matched across spellings.
Match
The total must match the report’s printed total to the penny, or the issue doesn’t go out.
Facts from county records only. Payments to individuals are never named. Purchasing-card spending isn’t included.
Why this exists
Erie County publishes every vendor check it writes, but only as long weekly PDFs that are hard to read. The Payee Report turns them into a short, checked summary, so anyone can see where the money went in a few minutes.
Questions
Is this from Erie County?
No. The Payee Report is independent. It's built from reports the Comptroller publishes each week.
