Want to get your hands on a government employee salary database? Maybe you want to see which companies in your city are being awarded government contracts? Or how your schools are shaping up in connection with test scores — or even health violations!
That information — and much more — is a public record. But how do you get it? What does it all mean? And what do you do once you have it?
Texas Watchdog has the answers to those questions and much more in the most recent episode of Trent TV: Databases and Spreadsheets-Getting it, reading it and using it.
Still have questions? Are you hitting a roadblock? Texas Watchdog is here for you; contact us anytime online or over the phone.
