Mayor Bill de Blasio rolled out a proposed budget Thursday that shaved $6 billion from his initial request and begged the feds for a $7.4 billion injection of aid, linking New York’s recovery from the coronavirus to any national rebound.
“Everyone wants a restart, everyone wants our economy to recover,” de Blasio said. “But, there has to be a really clear understanding, if we can’t provide the basics for our people then you can kiss the recovery goodbye.”
He added: “If we are not strong, if our people are not safe, then this nation cannot recover.”
De Blasio, who is operating under a current budget of $92.8 billion, introduced an $89.3 billion revised budget proposal that shuts down the city’s public pools and axes other beloved summer programs.
The city budget has skyrocketed by more than 26 percent in six years under de Blasio, up from $72 billion in 2014.

Maybe this freak and his buddy Cuomo should have spent less time on TV, whining about what they didn’t have and more time managing their state and city. Screw New York, tired of hearing how special and important they are to this country.
Yeah, but New York has the best nudie bars for entertaining those potential Saudi and Chinese clients.
I’d like to see that history repeat itself.
Pie in the sky ain’t cheap.
The Federal Gubmint just sent Millions of NYC Residents a $1,200 Check.
He can just have all the NYC Residents sign over their Checks to him.
If I were POTUS, I’d tell DeBlasio to pound sand.
*************
Tell him to go ask the Clinton Foundation for money.
NYS and NYC already have had a good outflow of people to lower cost/lower tax/better weather states. They are losing 2 reps in the next reapportionment.
The Corona crisis will hasten this trend quite a bit. The downside it that this could help the Dems electorally in Florida as liberals head south.
What the left sees is an opportunity to turn America full commie..they will NEVER EVER have an opportunity like this again and they know it..also they need to keep the economy closed til AFTER the November election, that way they can have their mail in ballots which equals massive and I mean MASSIVE voter fraud
Just raise taxes. You’ve got the stock market, Broadway, Museums, etc., just tax the Hell out of them.
I hear U-Haul is going to do a booming business out of New York this year.
That’s a HELL NO!
Let it go. No one needs NYC.
Bye!
Suck it.
You need 7bil to pay your crony pensions.
Say it.
Him and his wife gonna skim off a billion for themselves?
Ummmmm.
