[TRU Research] Cutting the cops

[Stephen DeSanto]

That's a very good question. Now that you mention it, there's discrepancies
between the "adopted budget" for the Office of Housing, too: The OpenBudget
<https://openbudget.seattle.gov/#!/year/2020/operating/0/department/Housing/0/service?vis=lineChart>
data (the cool charts) put 2020's "approved budget" at $69M, but looking at the
PDF for the "adopted" budget
<https://www.seattle.gov/Documents/Departments/FinanceDepartment/20adoptedbudget/OH.pdf>,
that might not include over $70m in proceeds from the Mercer sale and has
the budget at $130M for 2020. When I looked at some of the data for past
years, OpenBudget numbers match the PDF versions exactly. So, my assumption
here is that OpenBudget's data for 2020 might be a little old, and the PDF
versions are more likely to be correct?
