New York Mayor Eric Adams reversed proposed cuts to the police department and early childhood education after the city was able to lower the cost of migrant care and tax receipts came in better than forecast.
The mayor’s $111.6 billion budget for the year that begins July 1 adds $2.2 billion to the spending plan he unveiled in January. That restores some, but not all, of the cuts he said were necessary eight months ago. The plan requires approval by the City Council, which is likely to add additional expenses to the budget before finalizing it.
