From Town of Orange’s annual financial report to the Office of the New York State Comptroller (2025-01-01 to 2025-12-31), all funds. Categories group the state’s account codes: technology is data processing, phones, 911 and radio and computer instruction; transfers between the body’s own funds are left out. The Comptroller’s data ↗

Figures are public records: the body’s own reports (marked by year) and other agencies’ records of what it bought or received. They aren’t added together. Something wrong? Tell us.
