By Laura Schwander KEZI TV Lane County Government officials say it receives only
nine cents out of everydollar paid in property tax. Now with a click of a
mouse, you can find out how that and other taxpayer money is put to use in Lane County.
In order to meet the reporting requirements of Oregon
Revised Statute 294.250, Lane County Government is required to make its
expenditures and revenues over $100 available to the public.
The county already
provides this information, but now it wants to make it easier for the public to
access it by posting it online. The Lane County Transparency Spending and Revenue Receipt
Reports will be available each month on the county's website. Each entry will include who was paid, the
type of expense, and what program or project initiated the expense.
"The more transparency we provide, the higher level
of trust and comfort the citizens will have with our decision making,"
said Lane County Commissioner and Board Chair Bill Fleenor.
Lane County Government Officials say the Transparency
Spending & Revenue Receipt Reports make it possible for people to view
actual expenditures as they occur closer to 'real time' as well as provide more
individual account detail.
