Well, no, you could get at least RFPs, the winning bid, and the actual
contract for any or all specific projects, because they're all public
records. Local laws vary, but basically no government entity is allowed to
enter into secret contracts, except where national security is a concern...

I'm not interested in pushing the issue, just wanted to point out that when
public funds are spent, the paper trail as to who receives them is public
info.
