Government Records Web Site Enhanced

State government has added information about executive salaries and K-12 schools on OPEN SD, the user-friendly Web site to find state and local government information and public records.

The online information source premiered last September.

"The citizens of our state deserve a simple way to learn about their state and local government," said Gov. Mike Rounds. "I believe this system provides meaningful information in an easy to use, comprehensive format that is continually updated."
The Web site, http://www.open.sd.gov/, has become the central portal to government information in South Dakota. In addition to more than 189,000 pages of information already available on state government Web sites, OPEN SD provides financial information about state government, in a searchable format, which currently includes over 106,000 individual financial records.
Files for current budget, revenue, and staffing levels are available on OPEN SD, including payroll details, job classifications, and vendor information - just to name a few. The site also has links to city and county government Web pages.

OPEN SD is an on-going project. New features and information will be added as deemed necessary to offer South Dakotans an open window into the financial operations of their government.
