View New York City Budgets on a map

Would you like to see the details of our New York City Budgets on a map?  So far, we have not found an organized place with detailed information on budgets for capital and expenses for all the many places New York City has budgets.  So far, we know of the mayor's office of management and budget (over $80 Billion - expense, capital?), the city councilpersons budget (expense - $380 Million, capital - $575 Million) and each borough president receives expense and capital budgets around $100 Million.

After processing we have a sheet

After geocoding we have a map

Right there..."
