Closer to home, de Blasio said the growth in tax revenue that has swelled city coffers is starting to slow — with projected growth of 3.6% in 2016 and 1.9% in 2017, compared to an average of 7% in the last five years.

Ironically, the Communist De Blasio and progressive-left NY City are supported mainly by Wall Street, their jobs and taxes - which is supported wholly by the Federal Reserve, its money printing, QE, zero interest rates, and bubble blowing.

This is just one of many examples of how the Federal Reserve, and our fiat, printed, unbacked monetary system are the foundation of the progressive nanny state.
