Where the Money Goes
Of the $137,138 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $63,163 (46%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
Why this number?
Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.
Show formula
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
