Mayor Bill de Blasio didn’t back down Wednesday on the taxation of wealthy millionaires and billionaires as an aid in the city’s COVID-19 recovery, which was outlined in the state’s budget that passed Tuesday.

“The legislature led the budget process,” said de Blasio, speaking about Governor Andrew Cuomo’s absence in negotiations.
