With all eyes on the New York State budget, due at week’s end — on April 1, Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday reiterated some of his biggest priorities in an appearance on PIX on Politics.
Speaking to PIX11’s Dan Mannarino, Adams doubled down on his desire to get more state dollars to support City Hall’s efforts providing for the over 52,000 migrants who’ve arrived here over the past year and teased ongoing negotiations surrounding Governor Kathy Hochul’s proposal that the city contribute an additional $500 million-a-year in funding for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
When asked if he is seeing an “even divide” in terms of money for the budget, Adams reiterated what he’s been saying for the past several weeks, that the “third, third, third scenario” — in which funding is evenly split three ways between the city, the state and federal government — is “just not a winnable one.”
