Mayor Eric Adams warned that the cuts would impact every city agency.

The mayor has blamed the budget cuts on federal COVID aid ending, and the cost of the migrant crisis in the city.

Seeing this is being reported uncritically on a few other websites and on TV news as well.

The language surrounding the migrant situation is becoming more and more dangerous. It was only a month or two ago that Top Cop Adams said that the migrant “crisis” would destroy the city. Now we have the media running around putting the blame for budget cuts on migrants.

Here’s a NYT article that goes into more detail on the recent budget cuts: https://web.archive.org/web/20231116210120/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/16/nyregion/nyc-budget-cuts-schools-police-trash.html
