\u201cAs forecasted by the Council, New York City\u2019s economy continues to see steady growth. The Council\u2019s revenue projections have been consistently substantiated by the mayoral administration\u2019s financial plans, which is once again the case in this November Plan. As our school communities continue to deal with changes in enrollment, it\u2019s critical the Administration maintains investments to keep individual school budgets steady and ensure appropriate resources serve students.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the past several years, the NYPD has experienced hiring and attrition issues, caused by and producing management challenges, excessive forced overtime, and strains on officers\u2019 quality of work life. An outgoing mayor placing tens of millions of dollars into outyear expense budgets for headcount, without any meaningful plan to address current workforce challenges, is not reflective of responsible budgeting. This only adds to growing outyear budget gaps and will leave taxpayer dollars sitting unused in the NYPD’s headcount budget when they could be used for New Yorkers’ pressing needs. The Council will review the November Plan to ensure that we deliver what all New Yorkers across our city need to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n
