NYC Mayoral Candidate Sliwa Targets $10 Billion in School Cuts

New York Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa vowed to slash $10 billion from the schools budget and trim the Buildings Department to help pay for his proposed tax cuts.

“I’m the only candidate, GOP candidate, the one to slash taxes, corporate tax, income tax, especially the property tax, which a mayor does hold sway over,” Sliwa said in a Bloomberg Radio interview Monday. “I’m the only one who’s talking about fiscal constraint.”
