Chiang's City And County Finance Site

I was reading this story in the L.A. Times when I noticed mention of a web site created by past State Controller and now Treasurer- elect, John Chiang. His Government Financial Reports site lets you look up, among other things, city and county financial reports, along with associated reports on the different retirement systems. 

About the only problem for me is finance and accounting is NOT my forte' so a lot of the terms and numbers don't mean much to me. But, for just quick information, just move your mouse over a county on the home page map and the basic financial info for the county shows up.
