City Council Budget

   Here is the link to the FY2012 New York City Budget which runs 712 pages. The budget is $66 billion dollars, and includes each and every member item that your local council member received. This year the council trimmed its pork by $9 million dollars down to $386 million dollars. Check to see what your local council member received, and for what organization.

   Restored were $6.5 million to all borough president budgets that the mayor had proposed cutting, and over $500,000 in restorations to the Public Advocates office. The council also restored many other cuts proposed by the mayor including restorations to the fire department to stop the proposed closing of 20 fire houses. 

   While proposed member items are not listed, it has been reported that Bronx Councilman Larry Seabrook currently under indictment for alleged fraud, still requested $400,000 in member items.
