Village of Greenfield Joins OhioCheckbook.com

Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague today announced that the Village of Greenfield’s (Highland County) online checkbook has been added to OhioCheckbook.com. 

Treasurer Sprague recognizes the value in continuing the legacy of the Ohio Checkbook, viewing it as a great resource in the quest for greater transparency in government.  

“The Ohio Checkbook gives taxpayers a window into state and local government spending,” said Treasurer Sprague.  “We’re happy to have the Village of Greenfield as a partner in improving transparency and empowering its citizens to get involved in the decisions impacting their community.”  

The Village of Greenfield is the third village in Highland County to join OhioCheckbook.com. The village’s online checkbook includes over 30,000 individual transactions that represent more than $12 million in spending from 2016 through 2018. 

Launched in 2014, OhioCheckbook.com became the first resource aiming to make all state spending information available online. For three years running, Ohio has been recognized by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group with the number one government transparency ranking in the country.

Since its launch, OhioCheckbook.com has garnered the interest of those hoping to learn more about how Ohio’s tax dollars are spent. As of February 2019, there have been more than 1,060,000 searches on the site, and the Treasurer’s office continues working with local governments and constituents to leverage the site’s capabilities.

The Treasurer’s office will continue partnering with OpenGov, a leading Silicon Valley government technology company, to provide residents of Ohio with the ability to view and search local government expenditures in a user-friendly, digital format.
