NYC Mayor Adams avoids deep budget cuts in record-breaking $114.5B election year spending plan
Briefly

"Because we set the table for success, we were able to ensure the continuity of critical programs as well as make strategic new investments in public safety, affordability and quality of life that benefit working class New Yorkers."
"We've successfully reduced the number of asylum seekers in our care from a high of 69,000 in January 2024 to under 50,000 today."
"The proposal also didn't restore many deep cuts to popular city services such as early childhood education that Adams made in past budgets, which he had blamed on the astronomical cost - $6.9 billion since 2022 - of caring for nearly 230,000 migrants."
"When asked if the city's parks had their funding fully restored, Budget Director Jacques Jiha offered an answer more philosophical than one rooted in dollars and cents."
