What's the % of city budget for staff...80% or something?

Since it's only a few coffees how about instead of all of us having a few less starbucks maybe the 15000 or so city employees can have the same amount this year as last, so will we and we'll call it all even.

Wait, is the subsidied cafeteria still there in city hall? Starbucks is probably free anyway
