How to read this
- Oregon state government payments (money paid out; source: Oregon Department of Administrative Services (agency expenditures)), not federal obligations. They include federal grant money the state spends, so don't add them to federal totals.
- Oregon fiscal years run July to June (FY2025 started July 2024).
- Oregon publishes yearly totals per payee (no months or dates) after each year closes, includes transfers between agencies, and doesn't include state payroll.
