Track Your Taxes

Welcome to Attorney General Mike Cox's
Track Your Taxes Webpage

This webpage is hosted by Attorney General Mike Cox as a clearinghouse of information that allows users to track how Michigan tax dollars are being spent by the Attorney General's office. Currently, users can search the total amount the Michigan Department of Attorney General spends on salary, benefits, rent, browse a detailed list of contracts, and much more. Cox is supporting legislation that would mandate the Michigan Department of Information Technology (DIT) create a user friendly Track Your Taxes website for all of state government.

Attorney General Cox has encouraged the legislature and the Governor to follow his lead and allow all Michigan citizens to see exactly where their tax dollars are spent across state government.

More Government Transparency -
Public Official Financial Disclosure

Michigan is currently ranked dead-last among the 50 states because it does not require reporting of personal financial interests by its public officials. That is why Attorney General Cox has proposed legislation that would require the annual reporting of personal financial information by elected state officials, directors of state departments, many local elected officials, candidates for these offices, and the immediate family members of officials and candidates. This legislation also calls for the annual reporting of gifts from lobbyists.

Although this proposal has not yet become state law, Attorney General Cox is the first state official to post his personal financial information online.
