# Oregon Budget — Appropriations and Expenditures

> Non-authoritative, AI-friendly reference for State agency expenditures from data.oregon.gov (Socrata), and the appropriation line items that authorised them. Budget bills themselves are referenced in oregon-legislature, never copied.
> Full verbatim text of jurisdiction-authored documents is included in-repo;
> third-party materials are summarized with links to official sources.
> Always verify against the authoritative source linked in each document.

## Contents

- `[Agency-year expenditure documents](expenditures/)`: one document per agency per fiscal year (FY2019–FY2025), every figure re-derived from the committed Parquet mirror — consult for "what did agency X spend in FY20NN".
- `[Appropriation extractions](bills/)`: appropriation line items quoted verbatim from budget bills, 2017R1 onward. The bills themselves live in `oregon-legislature`; this corpus never copies bill text beyond the quoted lines.
- `[Dataset docs](datasets/)`: the shape, keys, and quirks of each upstream data.oregon.gov (Socrata) dataset — read before querying the mirror through `list_datasets`/`query_dataset`.
- `[Appropriation-to-spending joins](joins/)`: which appropriations map to which mirrored spending, with the biennium-to-fiscal-year assumption stated on every join document. `join_lookup: found: false` means *no join recorded*, never *no relationship exists*.
- `[Authority graph](_meta/graph.json)`: document relationships feeding `graph_neighbors` and `authority_chain`.
