New York City’s expansion of universal pre-k, some trash pickup, and library services have been slashed as part of Mayor Eric Adams’ “extremely painful” cuts in a newly-announced budget modification that looks to trim the city’s spending.
Every agency will see 5% budget reductions this month, the mayor’s budget officials said, as the city faces slower tax revenue growth. Sources also told THE CITY there will be further cuts in a January 2024 modification.
Adams has warned residents for months of worsening budget cuts, but did not speak directly on Thursday about the latest changes. Instead, his budget officials briefed reporters virtually on the condition that they not be quoted directly.
Of the cuts, the mayor had said Tuesday, “it’s going to hurt, it’s going to hurt a lot.”
The modified budget reflects increased costs and spending since last winter’s projections, which caused a $7 billion deficit — forcing more cuts.
Adams has pinned much of the city’s financial woes on the asylum seeker crisis, as officials say more than 143,000 migrants have come to New York City over the last year and a half — many of them needing public assistance.
The city is still taking care of more than 60,000 asylum seekers in already overtaxed shelters and facilities across the city, as it is required to provide shelter to anyone under its “right to shelter” mandate.

Poor NYC. Buckle up, buttercup. You’re about to get just what you voted for good and hard.

I believe I see a solution...

Blaming everyone except the guy in the mirror.
If Gotham was happy to vote for this, why does it have RCV...?
Exactly! New Yorkers made their bed, now they must sleep in it!
And no whining!
Okay, so maybe there’s even less police protection, your house burns down, you die on the sidewalk for lack of EMS, kids go without necessary medical services, the streets are even filthier, rats take over the streets, restaurants serve rotten food, electrical services, gas and water are all comprimised... so what?
All that PALES in comparison to the unmatched righteous, virtuous feeling that makes your chest puff out and assures you that all the sacrifices you’ve (hopefully assigned to other people) given up, makes you a morally superior person!
Blaming immigrants?
How Republican of you?
/sarc.
Where it won’t hit is the Mayor’s salary and his security detail.

Just raise taxes and raise politicians’ salary. A SURE Winner!
BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

Or didn't the mayor include a line item for "Sanctuary City Operations "?
Why does the mayor of NY City HATE those less fortunate than him? Is it due to racial differences, perhaps?
C’mon, Sanctuary City ... be a sanctuary like you promised for all of those years ...
