Office paper expenditure numbers are not a full year - Williams has changed its office paper purchasing, and reporting became much better in February of 2010. The data reported are February 2010 - June 2010 (end of our fiscal year). In addition, these expenditure numbers do not capture individual departments who purchase their own paper outside of the central purchasing system.
