New York Mayor Eric Adams cites migrant crisis to justify budget cuts
On Thursday, November 16, New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveiled a $110.5 billion budget, justifying necessary budget cuts following the city’s spending of $1.45 billion, apparently caused by the crisis of migrants.
Cardi B, known for her philanthropy, expressed distress over the potential impact on her Bronx community, citing concerns for relatives and friends residing in the affected areas.
“What will happen to my nieces, what will happen to my nephews, what will happen to my cousins, my aunts, my friends who live in the neighborhood,” asked the rapper.
The proposed cuts would significantly reduce the number of NYPD officers, impacting public safety by reducing the force by a fifth. Additionally, education would suffer a substantial loss of $1 billion over two years, leading to delays in various programs including trash collection and preschool initiatives.
