Canceled Budget Cuts Headline Spring’s Political News
Many New Yorkers breathed a sigh of relief when Mayor Eric Adams announced late in February that promised budget cuts were no longer in the offering. This is of particular relief to our members and their families since New York City agencies were staring down the barrel of a 5 percent cut in spending for April 2024 on the heels of two previous rounds of budget cuts. Further comfort could be found in Mayor Adams’ announcement that there would be a relaxation of the hiring freeze that was in place, along with other limits on contract spending.

"¡Ah, primavera! Día de la Madre, Día Conmemorativo, los capullos se convierten en flores; el primer lanzamiento de béisbol de la temporada ha sido hecho entre los aplausos de los aficionados esperanzados, olvidando un decepcionante último año; los camiones del Sr. Softee están de vuelta en la carretera volviéndonos locos con esa molesta melodía, una llamada a los niños ansiosos por esperar en la fila para el primer sorbo de helado; y es tiempo de reservar tus vacaciones de verano... preguntándote, "¿entraré en mi traje de baño?"

¡Ah, primavera!
