News is circulating online that Mayor Adams has reached a handshake deal outside of public view on the city’s FY23 budget which includes the largest-ever NYPD budget -- $11.2B -- a huge boon for failed policing tactics, not so much for communities. As we face the aftermath of the pandemic and the imminence of a recession, the mayor is proposing a budget that would flood our communities with police rather than the resources New Yorkers so desperately need during this recovery.
