Line-item detail

This city's budget book publishes department totals, not individual line items, so there is nothing finer to show. The figures in the league table are the document's own department rows and add up exactly to the total it prints. Cities that publish a machine-readable export — New York and Houston, for instance — get full line-item detail here.
