New York City saw the warning signs early. We saw that if we didn’t take fast and decisive action, a perfect storm resulting in a multi-billion-dollar budget gap would be very difficult to navigate out of. We knew we had to make tough decisions and that our choices would not always be popular, but that they would be the right thing to do. That is because we understood that not making these hard choices would be worse for working-class New Yorkers and the long-term stability of our city.
Alongside being fiscally responsible, we also have achieved major wins for working-class people. We supported cost-of-living-adjustments for 80,000 human services workers — primarily women and women of color — so that they can raise a family in New York City.
This all puts us back on track to economic and social prosperity — which is no small accomplishment given the magnitude of the challenges we faced, and the severity of the crisis we would have had to address had we failed to act decisively and with an eye for what is best for the city in the long term.
