All the numbers displayed by the various cards display the actual values of each budget item, but I find it hard to understand at a glance the scale and meaning of the numbers.
For example, on the first card "City of Portland Service Area Budget", there are so many zero's on the y-axis values that at a glance, I'm unsure whether that's billions or hundreds of millions. (on closer inspection, it looks like the chart tops out at 6 billion.)
As well, when looking at the tooltips on the stacked line graph, it seems odd not to have the "$" prefixing the numbers e.g.
2007
Public Safety : 393363736
Community Development : 16205670
would make more sense as
2007
Public Safety : $393,363,736
Community Development : $16,205,670
