Budgets. Elections. Housing. Development. We dig into the issues that shape Erie County. All sourced. All in plain English.
Erie County population. The city of Erie is about 95,000. The county has lost population in every census since 1970.
2024 Erie County budget. Includes general fund, special revenue, enterprise funds. No tax increase in the 2026 proposal.
Federal COVID relief dollars allocated to Erie County. Where did it all go? That is the question we keep asking.
Registered voters in Erie County. Democrats hold a registration advantage, but the gap has been narrowing since 2016.
Presidential election turnout vs municipal election turnout. The people who affect your daily life the most are elected by the fewest voters.
Applications for the 2026 primary so far. 15,146 approved. Democrats outnumber Republicans 3.27 to 1 in mail ballot requests.
Unfiltered Erie started because the information we need to understand our own city was either buried in PDFs, announced with no context, or just never explained to the public at all.
So I started digging. Budgets, policy decisions, election data, housing trends, state funding impacts. I pull the actual documents and break them down so any resident can understand them in 10 minutes.
This isn't about gotcha moments or taking sides. It's about an informed Erie leading itself forward.
