Animal Public Record

Public money

Grants, budget lines and the words that separate a proposal from money actually spent on animals.

Follow the money words.

Public money tracks the funding behind animal programs, from a grant opportunity to the spending that follows. One piece follows a marine-mammal grant through to spending, and another finds the budget line behind an animal-services promise. Dale Whitmore also defines proposal, award, obligation and outlay, and lists questions for the people who control the funds.
