This is what $207 million in drug money looks like

​Given that the campaign to renew the COMBAT tax is in full swing, we figured it was time to look at the numbers. Ready? Here's the breakdown of how $10,487,768 of your tax dollars -- 2009's COMBAT anti-drug tax fund -- was doled out among local agencies.

(The agencies are categorized by the COMBAT goal they serve: Prevention, Treatment, D.A.R.E. and Law Enforcement. There's a 2009 grant match for which some agencies also qualified.)
