A high-count file, modest dollars per row

Dividing $883,997,962.35 by 3,785 yields about $233,552.96. Justice portfolios can mix grants, contracts, and modifications; 3,785 is not 3,785 unique prosecutors or 3,785 named vendors. Do not invent contractor names.

Correlation is not causation: a high award count does not prove crime rose or fell. This packet does not rank Pennsylvania against other states. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair.
