The City Council on Sunday voted to approve a $112.4 billion New York City budget, which restores some of Mayor Eric Adams’ most unpopular cuts but maintains others.Restored in the budget agreement were the mayor’s proposed cuts to libraries and cultural institutions, proposals which had proved deeply unpopular with voters. It alsoto more low-income New Yorkers, saw funding cuts restored to HIV and composting programs, and invested $2 billion in capital money for affordable housing development.
“Every single win was hard fought on behalf of our neighbors and our fellow New Yorkers,” said Speaker Adams at a Sunday press conference. “We have to shift from a focus on restoring to one of strengthening programs and services that we know New Yorkers need and deserve.”“It is totally unacceptable that we have been forced to spend our time, our energy, our resources on restoring cuts, rather than on growing critical sources for New Yorkers,” said Manhattan Democrat Julie Menin.
