County Portal · Firsthand Strategies

Your county's private view: verified spending by pillar and recipient sector, year-over-year flow, and quarterly outcome indicators.

Received vs. spent by year

Interest on settlement balances

Idle settlement dollars still work — county balances earn interest, and that interest is itself spendable on abatement. This tab shows what your balance has earned and projects next year's earnings from your current balance plus anticipated payments.

Assumptions — adjust to your county

Interest rate (% per year)

Prefilled with the Wisconsin LGIP rate for June 2026 (3.67%). Use your county treasurer's actual yield if different.

Statewide settlement payment, 2026 ($)

Prefilled from DHS guidance: its 30% share is ~$16.5M in 2026, implying ~$55M statewide and ~$38.5M to local governments.

Method: estimated interest = rate × current balance + rate × ½ × projected 2026 receipts (payments assumed to arrive mid-year on average). Your county's projected receipts = its share of the local 70% pool, derived from its lifetime allocation percentage. Planning estimate only — actual payment timing varies by settlement and fiscal year, spending reduces the balance, and not every county invests at the LGIP rate.

Spending by pillar & sector

Where identified dollars went. These totals are floors — they include only items your reports itemized with amounts; unpriced items appear in the counts and in the ledger below.

By pillar — what was funded

By sector — who received it

Investment → outcomes, by pillar

The chart every board wants: what you put in, next to what changed. Dollars are identified floors; outcome lines come from your county's quarterly submissions and fill in automatically as programs report.

Where the money went — pillar × sector

Rows are what was funded; columns are who delivered it. Identified dollars only.

County Network sample

Counties that have opted into network sharing appear here automatically. Sharing is county-controlled: each county elects private, network, or public, and can change it at any time.

Sharing consent manager

Click a status to set it — the change is saved instantly and takes effect everywhere (portal, network view, public tracker) with no SQL. Set a county to network after their data use agreement's sharing election is signed.

Classification review queue

Items whose automated pillar or sector classification needs a human eye. Fix the dropdowns if needed, then Save — or Confirm as-is if the automated call was right. Exhibit E citations update automatically with the bucket.
