You might have to be a bit geeky (or really, really into following the money) to get immersed in state contracts ... but you can if you want, through the state's online listing of those contracts. It's linked to on the "do it yourself" part of Full Disclosure, our open records web site. (There's tons more there, too, like restaurant inspections, nursing home inspections, how municipalities spend their liquid fuel tax ... all kind of stuff.)
Anyway, on the state contract site, you can find out things like T. W. Consultants, Inc. has an agreement with PennDOT to inspect a whole bunch of York County projects for about $2.5 million. Or that the state prison in Smithfield paid $7,202.25 for 495 cases of frozen meatballs.
Ahh, fun stuff. If you poke around in there and find anything interesting, let me know.
