The City of Dover today unveiled a new online resource that provides easily accessible financial records and detailed information about the City’s finances. Budget Revealed, which can be found at the City’s website, www.dover.nh.gov, provides quick but comprehensive access to thousands of financial records and information, including purchase orders and employee wages.
This resource is part of the City’s ongoing efforts to encourage and strengthen public participation and transparency.
The Budget Revealed database is completely searchable, which allows users to track where tax dollars are spent with precision. Budget Revealed also contains detailed information about how local government finances work and the budget process, including video and multimedia resources.
“Open government and transparency are critical to a healthy and informed community,” said City Manager J. Michael Joyal, Jr. “The City of Dover already releases a wealth of information to the public on a daily basis, via the City’s website, which far exceeds most communities. Budget Revealed is intended to provide the public with new tools to more closely examine the City’s finances. We hope this will encourage even more people to participate in the budget process.”
The records available on Budget Revealed will be updated continually and information about the annual budget, including budget presentations and documents, will also be updated regularly.
