Village of Crestline Joins OhioCheckbook.gov

COLUMBUS – Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague today announced that the Village of Crestline (Crawford County) has joined OhioCheckbook.gov

“OhioCheckbook.gov is a streamlined, single resource for taxpayers to find government spending information at the state and local levels,” said Treasurer Sprague. “We are proud to welcome the Village of Crestline as our newest Ohio Checkbook partner and provide residents with a direct look at how their tax dollars are spent.”

The Village of Crestline is the 7th government entity in Crawford County to join OhioCheckbook.gov. The village’s online checkbook includes more than 8,500 individual transactions that represent over $8.2 million in spending from January 17, 2017 through January 29, 2019.

OhioCheckbook.gov was launched in June 2020. The new transparency website combined OhioCheckbook.com (previously administered by the Treasurer’s office) and Ohio’s Interactive Budget (previously operated by the Office of Budget and Management) to create a single, one-stop resource for taxpayers to learn more about spending at the state and local levels of government.

By streamlining website administration, eliminating duplication, and reducing overall operating costs, OhioCheckbook.gov will keep government transparency at taxpayers’ fingertips for years to come
