Commission public record, with real-estate / development donors flagged and recusals attached.
All figures are public record (CSC dataset jexd-xbcg). Contributions are lawful.
The point is the map: who funds whom, and whether votes track the money. Every claim here is a
question for reporting and verification — not an allegation against any donor or official.

Sector concentration — the land & development tilt
In a land-, tourism- and development-driven jurisdiction, the dollars closest to power are the dollars closest to land use, permits and zoning. This is how much of all tracked money carries a real-estate / development signature.

The influence web — donors funding multiple decision-makers
Contributors who appear in the top donors of more than one tracked official. Giving broadly is lawful; the map asks who is buying a relationship with the whole body, not one seat.
