"Today's agreement on a budget between the Mayor and City Council can be lauded as a win for everyday New Yorkers. Early childhood workers around the city, such as the dedicated teachers at the Williamsbridge Early Childhood Center in my district, will receive a more fair paycheck, acknowledging their contributions as educators, not babysitters. I appreciate as former chairman of the Council's Library Committee, how $33 million in new funding for programming will impact countless New Yorkers of all ages. More staff in our city parks means more safety, more cleanliness, and more programming. Schools across the city, including my district, will see new security cameras thanks to new funding. I want to thank my colleagues in the Council and our Mayor for these victories, as well as the responsible teamwork that has ensured ample reserves in the city's rainy day fund. But most importantly, I want to thank every hardworking taxpayer who has enabled the funding to push our community in the right direction, ensuring a bright future. Of course, there is more to be done, but it's a good day for residents of New York City."
