and for total revenues and expenditures (=2008 amount - 2016 amount).
4. Calculate the % change from 2008 to 2016 for each revenue source and expenditure, and
for total revenues and expenditures (= amount change/2008 amount * 100).

budget, how much it has changed over time, the major revenue sources and which have
experienced the greatest change, the major expenditure categories and which have experienced
the most change (be sure to include $'s and %'s in your discussion, do not talk generally).
