In alignment with the goals of Governor Pete Ricketts, the
Nebraska Department of Administrative Services State Budget
Division has partnered with Nebraska Interactive to develop an
online experience that allows taxpayers and citizens a view into
Nebraska state government revenues, appropriations and
expenditures.
The Department of Administrative Services State Budget Division
works to provide quality fiscal policy analysis for the governor
and ensure the most effective and efficient use of public
resources. The State Budget Division produced the Nebraska Budget
Information Portal to provide an interactive experience with data
fields for the user to identify areas of interest and output to
charts and graphs, both simple or advanced, which are ready to
download for further analysis or share on social media.
“We wanted to make the application thorough but accessible, and
with the demonstration video, the step by step instruction empowers
the user to locate the information they seek. This kind of clarity
and accountability to the taxpayer is a priority for Governor
Ricketts. We want the citizens to feel secure knowing we are taking
good care of the Nebraska budget, and putting this online was just
conceptual until we collaborated with Nebraska Interactive,” stated
Gerry Oligmueller, State Budget Director.
By default, the charts provide a statewide view by fund type and
year. The user selects to view a simple or advanced chart to see a
drilldown for a more granular level of information. Choices include
views by functional area, agency, major account, and provide
printer friendly versions exportable to CSV for archiving
reports.
The Budget Information Portal provides insight of state spending
from the agency to the program level in a single year or year over
year. “Partnering with the Department of Administrative Services
State Budget Division was critical when designing the user
experience. The content is complex and needed to be made simple for
users to recognize and interpret the data. It was a tough but
exciting project. We are thrilled with the outcome,” said Brent
Hoffman, GM of Nebraska Interactive.
