Budget Share Widget

Just added a new widget, over there->, that allows you to enter a sum of money and select either HCDE or Chattanooga to see what percent of budget that figure represents. Testing it at this point with- FY10 total for Hamilton County Department of Education = $358,995,245 and City Of Chattanooga passes budget total for FY11 = $185,188,000. I might add more choices later. I did this last week for the HCDE budget but added the City choice today inspired by Chattarati's interactive City budget tool. The idea was to have this handy for when consuming news stories and quickly being able to see how big the figure du jour represents in the big picture.
