Analyzing Malloy’s budget? The Mirror invites you to annotate

Are you an accountant, nonprofit, lawmaker or just an interested reader who has been dissecting Gov. Malloy’s 2014 budget since its release Thursday afternoon?

If so, The Mirror invites you to join the community, dissect and annotate. This is how:

1. Find the place in the budget that affects you, click the “comment” button (top left corner of the navigation bar), and drill down to find the “area comment” tool.
2. Drag the tool over a selected portion of the budget, release and a prompt will appear.
3. Add a comment or annotation, and please include your name or agency.
4. To save your comment, simply click the “comment” button again. (See our examples on pages A-2, A-4 and A-8.)

That’s it. Feel free to share and reply to other annotations.
