| Each week, our investigations are showcased in local markets across the country by the local ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX affiliates of the Sinclair Broadcast Group.
We are reaching the American people in their living rooms to connect on the issues most important to them — right in their own neighborhoods.
Check out a few of our recent investigations:

• BALTIMORE, MARYLAND: It’s pension heaven for the city council — voting themselves lifetime pension benefits after just eight years of service. We crunched the numbers: invest just $30,000 over eight years and receive $450,000+ in lifetime payout starting at age 50!

This year, our auditors will file 50,000 Freedom of Information Act requests to capture nearly every dime taxed and spent at every level of government across America.
That’s never been done before!
Why are we fighting so hard? Because transparency changes everything. |
