The general fund budget is more than $1.4 billion.
The Mayor said salaries should be cut at City Hall because many in the private sector and non-profit agencies have done the same. “I think we owe it to them to share, share in the sacrifice and provide more robust services. That’s why I’ve called for defunding the bureaucracy.”
