City of Euclid Joins OhioCheckbook.com

Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague today announced that the City of Euclid’s 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.  

“Greater transparency leads to citizens becoming more confident in their government institutions,” said Treasurer Sprague. “Ohioans have a right to know how their tax money is being spent, and we are proud to have the City of Euclid join Ohio Checkbook as a partner in leading our state towards a more transparent future.”

The City of Euclid is the eleventh city in Cuyahoga County to join OhioCheckbook.com. The City of Euclid’s online checkbook includes over 159,000 individual transactions that represent more than $116 million in spending throughout 2018. 

“We appreciate the opportunity to partner with the State Treasurer’s office to provide a transparent and informative platform for our community members to review the City of Euclid finances,” said James Smith, Finance Director, City of Euclid.  

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 December 2018, there have been more than 1,040,000 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.
