Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday said he and New York City Council leaders had reached an agreement on an $88.1 billion budget for the coming fiscal year that drastically cuts city spending while shifting $1 billion in funding from the New York Police Department to youth and social services.
The council was poised to vote on the budget on Tuesday night after weeks of negotiations framed by an economic crisis brought on by the new coronavirus pandemic and mounting calls for defunding and reforming the police department. The...
Yes NYC you have a great Mayor one who believes social workers can stop thieves and drug addicts......wrong.....that is a parenting problem that turns into a police problem....
Unfortunately, New York City is experiencing the government they voted for.
Start by defunding the Mayors office. It’s been absent for 5 years anyway...p.s. DeBlasio is a world class idiot...
Wow, I thought we were idiots in LA. Welp, NY is clearly the worst in the U.S. Good luck with that folks. I'm sure we'll see more of you out here soon...as we have the last 50 years.
i think u big bird and the members of city council should all go out on patrol with the police among the protesters. and when you see a protester moving toward crime you go counsel them out of committing the crime. come on big mouths show us how brave you are, walk the talk!
You get what you vote for
LONGCONVEXITY That guy needs to be fired! Poor NYC!
Amazing how you can cut the city budget when you have to.
So while you are getting raped the kids are playing ball with unarmed police athletic league down the block & can't respond
NYC is going to shit. NYCMayor RepAOC NYGovCuomo ChrisCuomo
Taking away $1 BILLION in police funding 😳. Glad I don’t live in NYC 😳
Politics at work...let's see how that works
Good luck ny...you can also count on a huge reduction of revenue as people get the hell out of there.
How many police will be fired? Salaries are most of the budget. NYCMayor nypost nytimes
No it doesn’t
And I'm sure the protesters will now pack up all their tents and signs and go home, am I right?
When they move to AZ and FL I hope they remember they moved because of Dem rule and vote Republican to keep their new home free from high taxes and policies that caused them to leave.
Hey Blasio 🖕🏼
he knows his city has a deprived social problems due to poverty NY has been collecting 1000s of illegals from Latin countries They can not have social harmony while taking in 1000s of dirt poor migrants/refugees Look at d social cost in Paris n Rio They can not solve poverty
BilldeBlasio You are a disgrace to your state.
I wonder how the citizens that live in New York, the families and the businesses, feel about cutting the Police Department .
New rule, you’re only allowed to leave NYC if you never vote Democrat again anywhere you go.
I can just see the trafic jams now of people leaving New York. DemocratsDividingAndDestroyingAmerica WalkAwayFromDemocrats
still higher than the 2018 budget
They ask for it and they got it. Take it, is all I can say. Keep voting for these libs you never learn
New York Elected Bill & got his Black Wife Matters for Mayor.
I’m sure there will be a scandal where millions ends up into Warren Wilhelm Jr’s bank account.
DeBlasio and other One percenters can pay for their own security due to security cuts. They have gates and walls and hundreds of Millions. Police can protect citizens, eliminate elite subdivisions and Politician details.
New yorkers deserve all the crime they get, they voted for it
Anyone else hoping New York liberals get exactly what they deserve?
👍
Thank God for the 2A
Puts
Where is the leader who is this guy
He give out free money to get votes and now the middle class is screw by him
That won’t be enough for the left. Isn’t that right AOC
An airhead with control! The absolute worst situation an American can be in!!!!! Wake up NewYork!!!!
i think big bird deblasio should go out into the protesters and when he sees someone committing a crime he should counsel the person out of committing the crime. come on big bird show how brave you are, walk the talk, show the cops how to do it. strut your stuff! or just get OUT
Cap
This mans hands will be drenched in more blood that Gov Cuomo’s already is
That will be a complete waste of money
Another Thrive NYC
it's not $1B
This headline is not accurate
Where it will be misappropriated!
Nothing is surprising anymore with this idiot in office maybe if he lights his hair on fire and yells blm blm blm
drboycewatkins1 Hopefully they will expand the PAL program. Loved going to the PAL as a kid in the 70’s.
What do you mean 'shift'? Our tax base has been decimated by your and Cuomo's leadership when we were beset by the plague, and that billion dollars isn't there anyway. Liar, liar.
Why not Funnel the money to Education and proper housing.
Let the crime spree begin.....
I presume a significant amount of that will go to his wife?
Try condoms
The problem are not the youth but their own broken homes lack of family structure morals love and God. Throwing money at it does not solve the root cause.
What about law & order? The crime rate will go through the roof. The BLUE is underpaid anyway. It's better for all lawmakers to take a paycut. Forfeit your security detail first.
About time!
Vote for a socialist, get socialist things.
Hopefully this makes things better. NYC has come a long way since 1990 when they suffered 2245 murders. The last couple years were right around 300. Criminals will soon root out the inefficiencies in law enforcement.
half of that was just moving safety officers. Smoke and mirrors
Goodbye NYC!
ppl not from NYC should let them govern their way, I have no issue with how they or any local community handles their budget. It starts at home so NYC needs to focus on developing strong families to help fix the systemic issues of unfortunate outcomes... imho
NYC can drop off the face of the earth. I will never return there ever
NYC got what it deserved by electing him mayor.
It will disappear into the bureauocracy!
Will be interesting to see how much of that gets used up in the bureaucracy before it gets to the street.
idiots
It should go to education. Education, outside of having athletic gifts, are the way to move up in social class. But no surprise Diblasio would place it wrongly.
The 'youth' already have bits headphones and 1K phones. I hope that 'youth' money is going to go towards businesses who hire them and for scholarships to private schools ordinarily out of reach.
Lets all pray crime jumps about a few thousand percent in NYC! BilldeBlasio NYCMayor
Can he just arbitrarily move money budgeted and proposed for NYPD? NYPD wear are the unions now? tuesdayvibes WalkAwayFromDemocrats SilentMajorityRising
Get ready for local politicians to dip their fingers in the honey pot! Prediction....the money won’t find its way to BLM issues but to more “self-centered causes” per the politician’s needs.
Does a budget actually matter anymore in government? The chance they dont overspend is zero
Imagine that! PROACTIVE measures!
Is Bill doing a good job?
LOL...why not move it to 'education' that's what's needed.
Can the homeless people “occupying City Hall” find something better to do with their lives now?
