Maybe the 'Toughest' NYC Budget Ever
Sally Goldenberg, City Hall bureau chief at POLITICO New York, ticks through the final details of the city budget, and takes your calls.
The city and state budget desperate to do anything but make our many million and billionaires pay their fair share.
— Kris N (@KrsJams) July 1, 2020Listening to what is cut in the city's budget I'm heartbroken about the composting of course, but all the cuts and shift of NYPD to DOE is just so wrong. To not think of putting more money into our children's education and the community at this time is absolutely baffling.
