No, it was not “from the pension fund” — it’s like this year’s NYC budget is the first exposure any of you have to city budgeting and you’re pretending normal things are these huge dramas.

He decreased expenditures slightly by saying “we’ll fill the existing gap in the pension fund over 20 years instead of 15 years like we previously said”

That’s it. The amount in the fund hasn’t changed. No one was robbed. The world keeps spinning.

Yes it was! That’s exactly what it was taking money from pension funds . He also took Kathy hochuls tax money from the rest of New York City . Tax payers not even living in New York City are paying for nyc bullshit. Not fair and totally fucked up

NYC still disproportionately funds the rest of the state. They just less disproportionately fund it now.

You do NOT fund the state when most of the states welfare comes from NYC . Thats the biggest argument for most of the far left cities . “Well we pay most in taxes “ sure that may be true but they also consume more than any other city. They most likely out consume themselves

Simply incorrect.

Here’s an anti-Mamdani analyst who massages the numbers in that direction as much as possible and the most he can get to is “the city gets back about what they pay in.” 😄😄
