Unfortunately he gets to blame all of this on his predecessor while getting to claim he’s being financially responsible.

Nope, he made all of these promises, he will get blamed for the cuts. I know, it doesn't matter, the sheep will probably vote for him again, lol, just to not vote Republican.

Haven’t big city libraries become homeless shelters?

For all the constant bitching i see daily from people here complaining about over spending and needi g to cut budgets and decrease deficits... you MFers never miss a chance to complain when this guy cuts spending.

We get it, they " elected " a commie. Save us the play by play. Nobody fricking cares theyre reaping what theyve sewn.

Libraries should absolutely be cut. Huge waste of money.


Libraries were the internet before there was an internet.

Whether or not they should be maintained to the level they have been in the past given the arrival of the internet age is a valid debate.

This guy ran on increasing the budget for parks and libraries just a few months ago

We have libraries in the palm of our hands. Libraries are obsolete.

False. We never miss a chance to laugh at the continued socialist promises get broken and the DA NYers who are going to suffer for their own stupidity. And then still not get "it".

People in NYC likely can’t read so no need for a library. We know they can’t comprehend or they wouldn’t have elected him.

Obsolete? Actually the ones here in B.R. are better than good & are usually well used, especially after school hrs. Even in today's IT world there are many who do not have access to computers. Can't speak for any of those in the hell holes in N.Y. or La. or Chicago or Portland, Seattle etc etc

This should sell well with his constituents since the women aren’t allowed to be educated.

But he is not actually cutting spending.

He’s slashing budgets in certain areas and raising taxes so he can overspend on the utopian, commie bullshite that helps no one.

So far, he is slashing the budget and raising taxes to balance the budget. Did he give out anything for free?
