“#De Blasio\u2019s reckless final budget means big trouble for the next mayor \u2014 and you<\/strong>”

Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s just-unveiled final budget removes all doubt: He\u2019s desperate to spend as much as possible before leaving office in eight months. When the kitty runs dry afterward, well . . . he<\/em> won\u2019t have to deal with it.<\/p>\n

His $98.6 billion spending plan for the year starting July 1 would burn most of the extra billions just sent from Washington \u2014<\/em> but leaves holes of $4 billion a year for the next mayor. (Make it $5 billion a year \u201cif\u201d the labor savings he promised last year, but failed to deliver, never materialize.)<\/p>\n

Yes, the city has greater needs thanks to COVID and the lockdowns. Students, for example, are tragically behind, thanks to schools shuttered for far too long. <\/p>\n

So de Blasio sets aside $500 million for \u201cassessment\u201d and tutoring. Yet he himself proved all too clearly \u2014 <\/em>by, for instance, wasting $773 million on his failed Renewal Schools \u2014<\/em> that throwing money at problems doesn\u2019t fix them.<\/p>\n

He\u2019d also shell out $377 million to expand the city\u2019s 3-K program this year, but future-year funding would be in doubt. Other programs, too, would grow, as would the city workforce, even though it\u2019s already 5-plus percent larger than when he took office.<\/p>\n

De Blasio claims new revenue will flow in and close future budget gaps once the economy recovers post-COVID, but that won\u2019t happ<\/a>en unless folks feel safe \u2014 and for that the NYPD needs resources. Yet for what\u2019s arguably Gotham\u2019s biggest<\/em> problem, soaring violent crime and chaos in the streets, the mayor offers virtually no extra funds for police.<\/p>\n

How tragic that the windfall from DC is only going to feed de Blasio\u2019s recklessness. It should<\/em> \u201cprovide the city with the runway needed to restructure its spending while preserving critical services and supporting pandemic hardship,\u201d Citizens Budget Commission head Andrew Rein notes, yet de Blasio\u2019s budget instead \u201cneedlessly leaves the next mayor to solve significant fiscal problems tomorrow that this budget should have started to address today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether that next mayor is forced to hike taxes, cut services or both, average New Yorkers will pay.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
