Disclose every award paid from county tax money that's handed to outside groups

A petition to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (7 districts), started by Brayden Sanders, founder of County Commons on 2026-10-24.
0 of 5000 neighbors0%

At 5,000 signatures it’s printed, with the count by town, and handed to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (7 districts) at a public meeting.

The same ask is open in 92 counties in 10 states — 0 signatures across all of them. Each county's petition goes to its own officials and counts toward its own goal; together they show how many places want the same thing. See every county →

Why it matters

Some county tax money goes to outside organizations — economic development corporations, nonprofits, districts — and once it leaves, the county's bidding and public-records rules may not follow it. We ask Palm Beach County to post, for every dollar passed through: who received it, how much, what for, and what was promised in return. Public money should stay traceable all the way to the last receipt.

Sign

Your name, town and email are never shown on this site, sold or shared. The public sees only how many signed and from which towns. One signature per person.

What’s happened

Raised by residents — not yet carried to the county.

This is a petition to your elected officials — like the clipboard at the courthouse door. It does not put anything on the ballot; that takes the state’s official petition process. Signatures are counted, not verified — one per browser; the delivered copy removes duplicates. Like everything here, petitions can’t campaign for candidates or ballot measures, or name county staff.
