Winston County Spending Info OnLine!!

Want to know how much Winston County spent on a court appointed attorney in Youth Court last fiscal year? - $15,068.75. The Mississippi Center for Public Policy (MCPP) has launched a website that provides information about county and state government spending. Mississippians in 62 out of 82 counties can now see how their county government is spending their money. The website: http://www.seethespending.org/ is searchable by county, county department, vendor, category and even by payment amount. Information for Winston County is current through fiscal year 2010 which ended on 9/30/2010. The site contains 6 years of data from counties and 8 years of data from the state of Mississippi.

User’s must provide a name & email to utilize the site and also has an option to receive E-newsletters from MCPP. User’s should use caution when exploring this data as some vendors may be listed with slightly different names (ex. WalMart or WalMart Stores) and totals displayed for each category is the total for that page – not necessarily for the whole category.There is further information about MCPP and SeeThe Spending at the following link to a Y’All Politics site:

Currently school districts and city information are not provided.
