Hi, I'm State Treasurer Shane Osborn and I welcome you to NebraskaSpending.com!

As State Treasurer, my office is responsible for the receipting and disbursing of all state funds, which includes accurately recording these transactions and informing the Legislature through a yearly report on the state's financial picture. Further, as a public servant, I believe elected officials have a duty to show the public how their tax dollars are being spent right down to the last penny.

NebraskaSpending.com is a searchable, user-friendly public website that discloses how our State government receives and spends funds in a simple and straightforward manner.

There are six parts to this website: State Dollars to be Spent; State Dollars Received; Operating Investment Pool; 2007 Contracts, 2007 Expenditures of the Nebraska State Government; an Interactive County Map of the State of Nebraska; and a breakdown of property taxes for each county.

As you will see, each page is completely interactive, allowing you to select a specific department and then drill down for further spending information or definitions of services provided by the agency.
