Meet the Controller

As the County’s top fiscal officer, Controller Chelsa Wagner leads the fight against inefficient and inequitable spending, working to root out fraud, waste and abuse in County government. Chelsa ensures the Controller’s office is a direct, effective advocate for Allegheny County, this region, and most importantly, the taxpayers.

Chelsa’s priorities have included implementing the City of Pittsburgh’s integration into the County’s financial management system opening doors to further cooperative ventures with other local government entities; launching a comprehensive examination of the county’s controversial property reassessments, including reviewing contracts with Tyler Technologies, Inc.; improving invoice payment processes to ensure payments are made efficiently and in compliance with contracts; and beginning technology advancements which will greatly increase the transparency of County government, including posting all contracts online.
