New NYC FY 2023 Budget Defunds Education, Fully Funds the NYPD
We talk about the new city budget that was passed Monday night. The $101 billion Fiscal Year 2023 budget includes full funding for the NYPD but cuts for a number of city agencies most notably the Department of Education while billions of federal stimulus money sit in the city's coffers. \n\nWe hear from Indypendent Editor-in-Chief John Tarleton about how budget passing works as well as from education advocates Leonie Haimson and Kaliris Salas-Ramirez, who are infuriated by the austerity budget cuts.
