Speaker Adams’ remarks Wednesday represent her strongest critique of the mayor’s proposal yet as she cited recent difficulties the city has had hiring and retaining employees as part of what’s guiding her rationale.
Adams on Tuesday attacked City Council members who want to ban solitary confinement from city jails a day after Council Speaker Adrienne Adams said she’d back the proposed ban.
Some members of the New York City Council had claimed that funding was being withheld from their districts due to their opposition to the city's new budget, but it turns out they will be getting the money after all.
The preliminary budget Mayor Adams proposed in February clocked in at $98.5 billion. If he were to fully incorporate the Council’s demands in his executive budget, it would bring the city’s total spending plan to $99.8 billion for the next fiscal year, which begins in July.
