Treasurer Mandel to discuss OhioCheckbook.com in Cleveland

This event is sponsored by Northeast Ohio Media Group.

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel will address The City Club of Cleveland on government transparency and the Ohio Checkbook Aug. 11, doors open at noon.

Treasurer Mandel will discuss the first-of-its-kind online checkbook, which has set a new national standard for government transparency. OhioCheckbook.com propelled Ohio from 46th in the country in government spending transparency to 1st among the 50 states.

Treasurer Mandel says he's "just getting started," and now has called upon the 3,962 local governments and school districts in the state to partner with his office to post their finances online as well.

Join us for a conversation with Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel on how public officials and citizens can work together to shine sunlight on government spending and empower taxpayers to hold politicians accountable.
