Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday the budget-battered Parks Department is in line for additional cuts even as the existing pare-downs have left many city green spaces covered in trash.

“It’s going to be a struggle to keep them as clean as we want them to be, if we have to go through with more layoffs,” Hizzoner told reporters during his daily press briefing.

It is not just over $100K/year. It is for the rest of their life based on their union pension.

just to observe, he didn’t offer any strategy to deal with it

he didn’t because you can’t tax garbage, it doesn’t work and its an inanimate object, they already tried and found garbage doesn’t pay its bills

The New York City employees probably join the riots every night and add to the trash.

If I recall correctly, when citizens have organized to collect trash on their own time for free, they have been physically prevented from doing so by city employees.

I can’t wait for the Department of Sanitation to go on strike turning DeBlasio’s version of the Big Apple into the Big Stink. Even the looters will stay home rather than put up with that stink.

“We’ve got to focus on getting long-term borrowing from Albany so we can avert the kinds of layoffs that would make the situation you talk about even worse.”

That'll go over big. Every upstater I've ever met would be ecstatic to empty his pockets for Da City. Maybe "ecstatic" isn't quit the word I'm looking for...

Ah, but DumblASSio ALWAYS has money for his beloved illegal trash and pampered criminals. And paint for BLM street graffiti when the streets and highways around there have worn-away lane markings and burned out street lights.

It seems that wherever leftists rule there is filth in the streets and everywhere else.

Has anybody else noticed this?

What is the connection between leftists and filth?
