Where the Money Goes
Of the $51,432 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $32,500 (63%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
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).
