WPTI’s Statement on NYC Budget Cuts

Last week, Mayor Eric Adams announced huge cuts to the New York City budget, including cuts to schools, libraries, sanitation, law enforcement, and many other essential services. Blaming the current migrant crisis for increased costs and a rapidly growing budget gap, Mayor Adams announced immediate cuts and hiring freezes, which will have a tremendously harmful impact on millions of New Yorkers, including those receiving services through the City’s workforce development system.
