New dashboard: State Contracts by the Numbers

The Office of the New York State Comptroller recently released a dashboard that provides users the ability to perform more robust searches on State agency and public authority contracts, including who has the biggest and most contracts with New York.

Search Millions of State and Local Government Financial Records

As the State's Chief Financial Officer, Comptroller DiNapoli believes New Yorkers deserve to know how their tax dollars are spent. Without transparency in government, there cannot be accountability. His open data initiatives are a commitment to this belief.

If you've ever wondered how much it costs to run your fire department or how much your city spends on education, you can easily track where money is going and how it's being reflected in the State's spending priorities using the Comptroller's Open Book New York.
