Dearest reader,
Next stop in the Grosse Ile Township Schools ledger: the check registers. 🪶
Lady B reviewed two years of expenditures, covering July 2024 through June 2026.
A few selected totals caught my attention:
⚖️ Collins & Blaha — Legal
$263,928.25
📊 Yeo & Yeo — Accounting/Audit
$84,750.00
📋 G2 Consulting Group
$70,081.25
✈️ Travel / Lodging / Airfare
$62,923.33
💻 Apptegy
$24,012.95
📑 Vicki Wilson Consulting
$21,741.00
A couple of important notes before anyone runs away with the numbers:
These are selected expenditures, not an all-inclusive list of district spending.
I also left the large bond and construction-related expenditures off this list. Those are tied to capital projects and deserve to be viewed in that context rather than mixed in with ordinary vendor spending.
And that $62,923.33 in travel, lodging and airfare?
We are going to set that breadcrumb aside for the moment.
Lady B has the individual transactions.
That deserves its own post. 👀
As for Apptegy, longtime readers already know why I keep circling that name when it appears in a district's check register. One district at a time, those payments continue adding another breadcrumb to a much larger statewide picture.
For now, these are simply the receipts.
You decide what deserves a closer look.
With receipts and respect,
Lady Budgetdown
