The story I chose isn't very recent, but it is one that pertains to my city. There is a public hospital in Dallas that accepts out-of-county patients. The reporter was able to obtain data that shows that Dallas County taxpayers were paying for more and more out-of-county patients per year, which allegedly irked the president of the hospital. From what I understand, this information can be easily obtained through a FOIA request since it's a public hospital. From there it's just a matter of parsing through the data to understand what you're looking at.
