Mayor Eric Adams unveiled his $98 billion preliminary budget for fiscal year 2023 this afternoon, which he said will focus on promoting public safety and speeding up the city's economic recovery from COVID-19.
“New York has always been a city of the future,” Adams said. “And today, we are here to plan for that future. It means building a city where safety and justice go hand-in-hand. A city where our children can play, read and thrive. Where education embraces the whole child and supports our families. A city where we embrace the progress being made in new forms of energy, transit, and commerce. A city of abundance of jobs, housing, and health care for all.
“ My administration is laser focused on fiscal discipline,” Adams said. “We’re not spending our money. We’re spending your money. And we will make decisions that invest in our city and benefit all New Yorkers. We will be radically practical. Success will be measured by how much we accomplish, not how much we spend.”
“The NYPD is our first line of defense against gun violence,” Adams said. “We will make new efforts to strengthen and reinforce it, while continuing our mission to involve the community. We have already started putting more officers on patrol and enhancing our existing public safety units with new neighborhood safety teams, which will focus on gun violence.”
“This wise management of our resources is allowing us to make historic investments in equity and justice and in safety,” Adams said. “We’re putting money in the pockets of working people.”
