BANGOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS: FIVE QUESTIONS FROM THE CHECK REGISTER
Lady Budgetdown went through Bangor's 2024-25 check register — 1,490 checks totaling $9.91 million.
Most of it? Nothing particularly remarkable.
But five items earned a bookmark:
• About $666,782 in BMO OneCard payments
• $155,000 for a "Fitness Court"
• $41,184.50 to Thrun Law Firm
• About $18,037 to the Michigan Association of School Boards
• About $144,613 to one lawn and grounds vendor
None of those numbers, standing alone, prove anything improper.
But the check register only tells us so much.
What did the money actually buy?
That is precisely why Lady Budgetdown keeps turning pages. 👀
