NYC lawmakers pitch reversing Mayor Adams’ planned budget cuts to 3K, schools and more
The New York City Council is pushing for Mayor Eric Adams’ administration to reverse more than $1 billion in planned budget cuts to 3K, schools, libraries and other city services, claiming an extra $6 billion is available from a variety of sources the administration didn’t account for.
“We heard from New Yorkers who shared what they need to stay in the city and build their legacies here,” Speaker Adrienne Adams said, echoing comments she madeabout the city’s affordability crisis. “Together with housing, early childhood education has risen to the top for working- and middle-class families.”
In addition to the funding restorations, councilmembers are proposing setting aside nearly $3 billion for what they call “underbudgeted costs” in the mayor’s preliminary spending plan and another $500 million for the city’s rainy-day reserves. They said this would leave a surplus of at least $1 billion for other potential needs.
“They are really fighting for working families and have listened to their concerns,” the group’s executive director Rebecca Bailin told Gothamist. “Since entering office, the mayor has made a total of $400 million in cuts to preK and 3K, according to the . He has made it clear that universal free childcare is not his priority.”
