"Baselining funding for key services is great – and I’m glad that the mayor is finally trying to meet the baseline standard for responsible governance, in the final months of his term. At the same time, this mayor has made cuts for years, using dishonest math and disingenuous framing. Correcting some of those cuts now doesn’t make up for years that New Yorkers will remember forever.
"I thank the Council for their consistent work to prevent the worst cuts of recent years and fund essential services the mayor has long underfunded, such as mental health services. Together with our partners in government, we will continue to review the details of this announcement and work to ensure that New Yorkers are protected from the worst actions of the Trump administration and impacts of the Trump economy."
