See online where Butler County spends its money
Just received this press release from the Butler County Auditor’s office:
Butler County Auditor Roger Reynolds announced today that the new “Butler County Expenditures On-line” feature he announced last month is now available on the Auditor’s Web site. Citizens can visit the site at www.butlercountyauditor.org. An icon labeled “Expenditures Search” is easily located on the Web site home page.
“We are using the advancement of technology to provide our citizens more transparency into the Auditor’s Office,” Reynolds said. “I believe government expenditures should always be in the light, where citizens can see how their tax dollars are being spent.”
A few other governmental entities around the country have started a similar program. The federal government has provided such a database since last December.
The expenditure search tool was created internally by the Auditor’s staff. No outside labor or software costs were incurred to complete the tool.
“Developing the online expenditure search tool follows my commitment to provide reliable customer service at a reasonable cost to the taxpayers,” Reynolds stated.
