He\u2019s canceling pandemic-forced savings initiatives and throwing buckets of money at ideas without any concern about whether the ideas are good or the money will be well spent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At $98.6 billion, his spending plan is $7 billion more than the state of Florida\u2019s. It\u2019s $10 billion more than last year, and that\u2019s before the City Council adds its expensive extras.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because de Blasio will be term-limited out of office next Jan. 1, he\u2019s a walking moral hazard. He won\u2019t face the consequences when the boom is followed by a bust and audits show gazillions were squandered or stolen. The next mayor will inherit the hangover and, inevitably, a sea of red ink.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there is one area where de Blasio is playing Scrooge: the NYPD. Its manpower budget is basically flat, except for a projected cut in overtime, according to the Citizens Budget Commission.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Status quo, with about 35,000 uniformed members, would be understandable if dollars were tight and New Yorkers felt safe. But with the money spigots running full blast everywhere else and crime soaring, now is not the time to pinch pennies at the NYPD.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just one example: Transit officials agree with the vast bulk of riders that more cops are needed in the subways, to arrest criminals, deter others and give riders back the sense of safety they once had.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>De Blasio\u2019s response was to scold the MTA for polling riders and releasing the results. To him, it\u2019s better to suppress an inconvenient truth than tell it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s another truth he won\u2019t like: His failure to effectively address the bloody surge of criminal violence over the last two years will define his legacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Mayor Bill de Blasio cowers behind criticism, going as far to scold the MTA for polling riders telling the truth. &#10;\" class=\"wp-image-18089525 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/de-blasio-stiffing-they-nypd-202.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/de-blasio-stiffing-they-nypd-202.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/de-blasio-stiffing-they-nypd-202.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/de-blasio-stiffing-they-nypd-202.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/de-blasio-stiffing-they-nypd-202.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Mayor Bill de Blasio cowers behind criticism, going as far to scold the MTA for polling riders telling the truth.<br \/>\n<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP Photo\/Mark Lennihan<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It didn\u2019t have to end this way. Back in 2016, the Council and then top cop Bill Bratton wanted to add about 1,500 cops to the force. De Blasio, trying to rebuild his relationship with the rank-and-file after a disastrous start, reluctantly agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By 2018, the uniformed force reached nearly 36,700, and crime, despite occasional spurts, was kept in check through 2019 and early 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But last year, in the midst of the pandemic, the protests and riots following the George Floyd police murder in Minneapolis went largely unchecked as the NYPD was held back. The criminals seized the upper hand and still have it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 319 murders in 2019 grew to 468 last year. Burglaries went from 10,800 to 15,500 and car thefts soared.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the size of the police force has intermittently drifted lower because of increased retirements and because de Blasio agreed to cancel a rookie class at the height of the \u201cdefund the police\u201d nonsense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Mayor Bill de Blasio reduced NYPD\u2019s numbers when the city needed officers the most \u2014 all in the name of appealing to anti-cop liberals.&#10;\" class=\"wp-image-18089541 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/de-blasio-stiffing-they-nypd-204.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/de-blasio-stiffing-they-nypd-204.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/de-blasio-stiffing-they-nypd-204.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/de-blasio-stiffing-they-nypd-204.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/de-blasio-stiffing-they-nypd-204.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Mayor Bill de Blasio reduced the NYPD\u2019s numbers when the city needed officers the most \u2014 all in the name of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ealing to anti-cop liberals. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Alamy Stock Photo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Equally important, he keeps putting cops on an ever-tighter leash, making it harder for them to do their jobs and leaving many cops convinced City Hall doesn\u2019t have their backs.
