As Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the City Council came to a last-minute agreement on a $126 billion city budget for Fiscal Year 2027, Bronx representatives applauded several wins for the borough — but not all are celebrating.
The council adopted the budget June 30 by a vote of 45 to 6, with Althea Stevens of the Bronx as the only Democrat to join Republicans Joann Ariola, David Carr, Frank Morano, Vickie Paladino and Inna Vernikov in opposition.
