“The dissonance of budget cuts amid the reality of a robust recovery is hard to wrap our heads around and difficult for this Council to explain to our constituents,” Councilmember Brannan said about Mayor Adams' preliminary budget.
City Council members went after Mayor Eric Adams’ spending cuts during their first preliminary budget hearing Wednesday — arguing that the mayor was jeopardizing the city’s recovery by cutting agency budgets when revenues appeared to be higher than expected.
“The dissonance of budget cuts amid the reality of a robust recovery is hard to wrap our heads around and difficult for this Council to explain to our constituents,” Brannan said in his opening remarks. “Moreover, unintended austerity will jeopardize the progress of our recovery.” “Don’t schools need as much additional [support] as possible and education be made a priority?” the speaker asked. “Will there be boundaries put around what schools can cut?”
Public safety in schools served as a worry for some members concerned that the headcount for school safety agents was reduced. Jiha justified the cuts, saying there was not enough interest to fill the positions.
