NYC progressives: Leadership, not service cuts
Some of New York City's top progressive leaders ripped Mayor Eric Adams' handling of the migrant crisis and said they will hold the line on the budget cuts he is suggesting.
The city is currently running more than 200 emergency shelters and directly caring for around half of the 110,000 migrants who have come to town. $12 billion is the price tag for all of this over the next three years-- with Mayor Eric Adams suggesting up to 15% across-the-board cuts to pay for it.
