[edit] Website evaluation
[edit] The good
- Budgets and audits are posted[1].
- Meeting agendas and minutes are published[2].
- Contact information for the Commissioners is available[3].
- Phone numbers for the other County officials and departments can be found in the County Directory[4].
- Delinquent taxes can be paid online, but information on other taxes is not listed[5].
[edit] The bad
- There's no building information on the website, because the county does not issue permits for building development.
- No contracts information is listed.
- No lobbying affiliations are available
- No public records policies are mentioned.
[edit] Website upgrade
The county's website was upgraded to that financial reports will reflect how the past months spending has gone. "As stewards of public tax dollars, we believe that taxpayers should be able to easily see where their money is going," said county Executive L. Brooks Patterson.[6]
[edit] Lobbying
In 2008, Oakland County reported $120,000 spent on lobbying. [7]
