- the local-project data: how we match each project in the budget to its House and Senate request forms, sponsors, recipient, city and county; the type we assign each project; and how we match vetoes to projects and counties;
- what we calculate from the sources: funded projects and dollars by legislator, project money by city and per resident, and the county file that brings together tax rates, school funding and projects;
- the choice and arrangement of what goes in each file, and its “#” header notes.
