Martin County highlights budget transparency tool after recent workshop
Summary
Following a budget workshop, podcast hosts showed listeners how to use Martin County's budget transparency tool to drill into departmental spending, view charts, and access the full budget document by chapter.
Hosts recapped a recent budget workshop and promoted Martin County's budget transparency tool, which lets users explore spending by department or category using interactive pie and bar charts. "You can go in there and you can look at the information in the budget, and you can sort of drill down into how you want to see it," one host said, describing how the tool presents both summary charts and links to the full budget.
The episode noted the county's complete budget document is available online (the hosts referred to it as "all, I don't know, 600 something pages") and that those who want deeper detail can review chapter-by-chapter. The hosts said county staff have walked them through how to navigate the tool and encouraged listeners who want to dive into spending to use the transparency resource.
