Title: Added data cleaning scripts

Added CleanData.py script. This script does a few things to the original data downloaded from the Google Fusions table.

1. Fixes capitalization of subject and department names
2. Consolidates department names to rename departments like "Police Department" and "Police" to only "Police"
3. Removes commas and parentheses from total expenditure so they can be properly read as float

Dependencies include `pandas` a Python data analysis library ([Link](http://pandas.pydata.org/))
