NYC Mayor Adams Orders Additional Budget Cuts Amid Uncertainty.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has directed nearly every city agency, including the Police Department, to cut their budgets by 4% for the coming fiscal year, which begins in July. Only the Department of Education and the City University of New York will be subject to smaller cuts of 3%. The budget cuts called for on Tuesday are the third round of reductions that Mr. Adams has asked his commissioners to carry out, and they are among the largest cuts he has demanded. The delivery of municipal services in many areas of the city has suffered over the past year and a half, and Mr. Adams has raised the specter of cutting critical municipal services in response to what his budget director described as worsening economic conditions.
