how this line is traced

Reconstructed — and the trail stops here. To see who this money actually reached, someone has to pull records, minutes, or a check register (that's Docket #8). It often stays dark.

There's another way. If the county paid this line from a transparent, line-attributed account, it would publish its own itemized transactions — payee, amount, date — the moment each payment cleared. No request required; the dead end becomes a list. That's the idea behind receipts by rails, filed as a solution to the transparency question — read it and weigh in.
