It allows one to see the tax revenue collected and how that tax money is spent. Government transparency is now codified in our township government under resolution 2020-23 (you can find the resolution here). That’s why I introduced a resolution for Union Township to adopt the Ohio Checkbook in the most recent Board of Trustees meeting.
On election night, the voters spoke loud and clear: transparency is a must. Transparency was one of the main reasons I ran for Trustee in the first place. Union Township had already been sharing some of its finances online, but as the ninth largest township with a nearly $80-million annual budget, I believe our government owes us maximum transparency. In response, I called for Union Township to adopt the Ohio Checkbook.Īs a fiscal conservative, I believe that the taxpayer has a fundamental right to know exactly how their tax money is spent, which is precisely what Ohio Checkbook allows.
As a candidate for Union Township Trustee in 2019, I heard one recurring question from community members: How can Union Township become more transparent and accountable? Michael Logue, Union Township Trustee.
