Mayor Eric Adams unveiled a $111.6 billion executive budget for fiscal year 2025 that restores $515 million in school funding and will put more cops on Big Apple streets — but falls short of plugging more than $58 million in cuts for libraries.

At least you didn’t give us your usual deranged rant about bump stock bans. Thanks.
NYC taxpayers are paying $13,000 plus PER PERSON (man, woman or child) for their city government. For a family of four that’s $52,000 for the family, before any state or federal taxes.
What the socialists and Liberals NEVER mentally absorb is that taxes are a cost and when you raise local taxes in particular you are raising the local cost of living, and that those actions hurt the least well off most of all. Their socialism becomes a circle of taxes and offsetting subsidies (against the high cost of living those taxes helped create), that keeps raising the ante year after year.
