On the county's web pages Finance Director Stephanie Black has made available Where does your money go? She narrated that table in the 26 June 2012 Second Budget Hearing. Here it is in plain text on the right. I've taken the liberty of sorting it by largest expenditures first.
That order is more or less what she showed in this pie chart, although the categories don't quite seem to match. In the pie chart, public safety (Sheriff) and court services are lumped together, so they make the biggest slice. In the table, the second biggest category is "Public Works (Facilities, Road Maintenance, Road Construction)". Hm, so how much do we spend on road construction?
