During his re-election campaign, Mayor Eric Adams announced a $115.1 billion budget, which he hails as the "best budget ever." The plan boosts funding for educational programs and assures future financing for cultural institutions and libraries. Despite this optimistic outlook, the budget overlooks potential federal cuts and economic challenges posed by Trump's tariffs. Adams, who faces accusations of federal corruption, refrains from confronting the Trump administration or recession concerns, instead focusing on expanding after-school programs, showcasing his intent to address the needs of families in New York City.
"This budget is a testament to our commitment to making New York City safer, more affordable, and the best place to raise a family."
"And now I'm returning as a mayor that's elected," he added, using a common refrain he's included in many speeches.
