West Central Reporter

We think that local government functions most effectively when citizens can easily access information about how their tax money is being used—specifically, how much is being spent, where it’s going, and what it’s being used for. West Central Reporter is here to deliver this crucial information to the residents of the western central area of Illinois. We regularly analyze public data from the region and across Illinois, transforming that data into meaningful stories for taxpayers in the community.
