Mayor de Blasio Delivers Testimony on the New York State Executive Budget

“Regardless of what happens in Washington, calling on working New Yorkers to forgo essential services is wrong… This recovery must be built from the grassroots up. By making the wealthy pay their fair share, we can avoid these cuts to our schools, health care and social safety net – and get our City back on the road to a recovery for all of us.”

NEW YORK—Today, Mayor Bill de Blasio delivered testimony on the New York State Executive Budget before the Joint Fiscal Committees of the New York State Legislature. The Mayor spoke out against cuts to schools and public health during a pandemic and pushed for direct aid to small businesses, investments in working New Yorkers and taxing the wealthy.
