Mayor Adams and NYC Council Pass $112.4 Billion Budget

The New York City Council on Sunday, June 30th, passed a $112.4 billion budget for fiscal year 2025 with a 46-3 vote. 

The spending plan, which will be in effect from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, represents a $1 billion increase over the mayorโ€™s executive budget proposal.

Mayor Eric Adams, having worked closely with the council leadership to shape the budget, praised the outcome. He emphasized the budgetโ€™s alignment with his administrationโ€™s goals to enhance public safety, economic recovery, and the cityโ€™s livability.

โ€œOur administrationโ€™s mission is clear: Protect public safety, rebuild our economy, and make this city more livable โ€” and this budget is a direct testament to that mission,โ€ Mayor Adams remarked following the budgetโ€™s passage.

Mayor Adams has repeatedly stated that he intended to โ€œland the budget planeโ€ with the City Council.

The approved budget allocates an additional $2 billion for affordable housing construction and preservation. It also restores funding to cultural institutions and student support programs. 

Notable changes include overhauling pre-k and 3-k programs to match parental demand across the city better.

Speaker Adrienne Adams stated, โ€œThese investments in affordable housing and homeownership, early childhood education and CUNY, libraries and cultural institutions, parks and sanitation, senior services and youth programs, mental health, and public safety programs support our residents in every community.โ€

Despite challenges posed by the ongoing migrant crisis and the reduction of federal pandemic aid, city officials maintain that the budget is fiscally responsible. 

Brooklyn Councilman Justin Brannan, who chairs the finance committee, commented, โ€œReports of New York Cityโ€™s demise have been greatly exaggerated. But making sure New York City remains the Capital of the World is hard work and doesnโ€™t happen on its own.โ€

However, the budget faced opposition from three Democratic socialist council members who voted against it. 

Councilwoman Tiffany Caban explained her dissenting vote, saying, โ€œThis no vote will certainly not grow my popularity with the powers that be. But my constituents did not put me in this room to be a rubber stamp on another Mayor Adams budget.โ€

The dissenters argued that the budget allocates too much funding to law enforcement at the expense of social services and education. 

The NYC chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America has announced its intention to field a candidate to challenge Mayor Adams in the next election.
