“All of us and the ones we love will need care one day,” the speaker said. “All of us deserve to age with dignity … And that’s why we want to make sure our older adults can age in place in their communities, where you can live and lead safe and independent lives. We can’t afford to leave our city’s older adults behind in the budget, we won’t allow that.”
The mayor insists the previous cuts were key to closing a projected $7 billion budget gap, and exemplify his administration’s “strong fiscal management.”because the city had far more money in tax revenue than the mayor’s budget office would recognize at the time they were enacted. On top of that, the council estimated the mayor’s office has not recognized roughly $1 billion in funds, which its leaders say can be used to reverse the remaining cuts.
