Saturday closures, restricted weekday hours, cuts to educational programs and a freeze on new branch openings.

Those are some of the drastic steps New York Citys public library systems may be forced to take if Mayor Adams moves ahead with his push to cut their budgets by more than $36 million this year, according to damning City Council testimony Monday.

I honestly can't believe how we elected this complete dumbass moron. His whole platform was to cut crime and he's done absolutely nothing to cut crime. His biggest "accomplishment" is throwing homeless people in jail.

New York City and State both have a remarkable proclivity to elect people that actively fuck them over.

He had a D next to his name. That all it takes in NYC general elections.

Is this because the libraries have become epicenters for homeless people?

"I cant separate my belief because Im an elected official. When I walk, I walk with God. When I talk, I talk with God. When I put policies in place, I put them in with a God-like approach to them.

He isn't doing a great job at walking his talk...

I'd bet that libraries do more to stop crime and improve society than a thousand new NYPD employees.

These people take all positive elements of society away and then tell people that only cops are keeping us from chaos. They create the very type of society they claim to be worried about by cutting off any other possibility and dumping all remaining resources not hoarded by capital into the police.

https://council.nyc.gov/budget/ is an extremely useless website, unless I'm missing something obvious.
Only hot take I can get there is why is NY state subsidizing NY city?

They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove em

For many elderly on fixed income its the only source of getting on the internet. Also a place to borrow DVDs for free.

A library that's only open during "business hours" all but insures the only people there will be bums watching porn or overdosing in the restroom.

If this guy wasn't an obvious DINO, this would clearly be another "we gotta raise taxes or the library and fire departments die!" panic-mongering.
No idea what's actually going on with this.
