Public records
Wisconsin government should make sense to the people paying for it.
I’m Andy Parrish. I investigate what public officials do, explain how decisions get made, and build tools that help citizens do something about it.

How this work is different
Follow the record. Understand the power. Do something about it.
01 Investigate Contracts, minutes, votes, court filings, and public records—linked so you can inspect the evidence yourself.
See the reporting → 02 Explain Complex government decisions translated into plain English: who decided, who benefits, what it costs, and what happens next.
Follow votes and legislation → 03 Equip Petitions, records-request generators, public data, and direct routes to the officials with the power to act.

Why I do this
Government experience should belong to the public. I spent years working inside government and media. I know how decisions move, how official language hides the practical consequences, and how difficult it can be for citizens to find the one document that changes the story.
This site is where I make that experience useful—without a paywall and without asking you to take my word for it.

Flock Out
1,432 government cameras 72 counties, every one of them 1 day of a Flock‑free commute Flock cameras read your plate, record where you were and when, and hold it in a searchable database. Nobody voted on that. On September 15 we stand on the public right‑of‑way beside those cameras during both commutes — signs up, entirely peaceful, entirely legal.
ANDY'S DAILY BRIEFING

I’m Andy Parrish — Trempealeau County Supervisor, former congressional chief of staff, and an independent investigator of Wisconsin government.

That’s how this works.
Independent investigations. Public records. Your county.
Live from 700+ Wisconsin government sources.
One email. Every morning. Your government.

THE SIGNATURE FIGHT
Wisconsin is being watched. I'm watching back.
Automated license plate readers went up across this state with no votes, no policies, and no public debate. I’ve sued over it, mapped every camera in Wisconsin, and drafted the FREE Act to put surveillance back under citizen control. This is the accountability work nobody else in the state is doing.
