Mayor Eric Adams unveiled New York City's executive budget for the next fiscal year, proposing a nearly $112 billion spending plan. The budget includes protecting key education programs worth over $500 million, but cuts to the public library system remain, impacting services. Adams defended the library funding cuts as part of negotiations, aiming for a positive outcome. The budget seeks to intensify public safety efforts, support cultural institutions, and expand mental health services for New Yorkers involved in the criminal justice system. The budget also includes investments in satellite mental health programs for seven Bronx schools.
🧵The Mayor’s Executive Budget released on Wednesday only recognizes ~$2.3B in additional tax revenues, while leaving out income-based tax revenues that are expected to be recognized upon adoption anyhow. This is money that we should be allocating to restore programs now.
I’m proud to see @GovKathyHochul and @NYCMayor investing in satellite mental health programs for seven Bronx schools. Following my $3.3M investment in Montefiore School Health Program with @RepEspaillat, this is another big step in securing life-saving resources for Bronx youth.

Adams can't help but acknowledge he's just using the library cuts as a negotiating tactic, & it's a way to make the City Council & others continue to focus on this relatively small amount of $ with an outsized social footprint. Like last year (https://t.co/2pF4xFpftS). https://t.co/Wzx7M30mDt
