Data Collection Virginia

[banjtheman]

What is the Task

Collect county-level data on budgets for counties in Virginia

We would like to collect the following information for each county

state - State located
county - Name of County
year - Year of budget
item - Budget item
budget - Ammount allocated to the item
source - Where data come from

After CSV has been created, place in the data folder

data//states/Virginia/COUNTY_NAME/budget.csv

Why do we want to do this

We need the data in order to create meaningful messages

How can I get started?

I would begin by googling X County, Virginia budget and begin compiling data into a CSV that can be used

Here is an example of the CSV

Hey! I would like to work on this issue too!

[banjtheman]

Awesome, plenty of data to collect, comment below on which county you would like to collect

[debangeedas]

Let's just go with the first county, Accomack! I do not fully understand the process yet. I was hoping I could contact you outside of github for clarifications. Once I get the hang of it, I may as well take up another county.
