National pool$3K · 1%

Trail ends$57K · 14%

Long tail$101K · 24%

Money in an account is fungible, so a committee that took $1M and passed on $100K passed on 10% of each of its own sources. That is the claim here, over 8 hops. It is a claim about proportions, not about the route a particular dollar took.

Entered Florida through a national pool

ENTERPRISE HOLDINGS, INC./ENTERPRISE MOBILITY PAC$1,638

Raised nationally and spent across many states. Its own funders are below, as shares of its money — not of Better Government Leadership Fund. The two cannot be multiplied together, because no filing says which share of this pool came to Florida.

Reading the ledger…

Two hops in and out · all cycles on file

This is the graph the PAC Tracker explorer opens on for this committee. It shows who this committee paid or was paid by, and who they paid or were paid by. Each entity brings its 25 largest links each way. Only direct links are drawn, which means both ends went on to move money themselves. Donors who only give are left out, so the chain stays readable. Open the picture to see it full size or to save it.
