The First Lady's staff costs $2 million for 14 employees.
FDNY spends $2 million on roughly 50 EMS workers (with a $40K salary, and some make even less)
You tell me which is more wasteful, and who is more important if COVID comes back this fall...
WE WANT ANSWERS ON LAYOFFS:
Why weren’t Early Retirement Initiatives -a proven method of saving city $- pushed before ordering layoffs?
If it took 2 ERIs to save 1 job (for example), isn’t that a good solution?
Why didn’t you even try getting this through Albany,

?

Ray Kelly hit the nail on the head! It's evident to all but the left that our city is crumbling. The breaking point is far behind us, a consequence of 8 years under de Blasio's policy of decriminalizing quality-of-life offenses. (1/2)

I cannot vote in favor of a budget with such large arbitrary cuts to the NYPD that will make our city less safe, our police officers less respected, and our middle class less supported.

Chief Chell is right on bail reform.
And honestly, they should just be deported. Period.
"You saw the video. Reprehensible! Cowards!... We must change this, end of story." Chief Chell said earlier today while addressing the violent assault of two officers in Times Square last night.

Tying the hands of our men & women in blue, then crying wolf that there’s an uptick in crime is ridiculous. Legislating based on emotion, protest signs & the flavor of the day without looking at long-term effects isn’t rational. You can’t have it both ways.

It's an affront to common sense that we continue to extend every conceivable accommodation to those who disregard our laws while our citizens, including struggling veterans and seniors, are left to fend for themselves. Enough is enough! (1/2)

We have enough criminals in this city; we don’t need to import more & protect them. This Thursday, I’m introducing a bill with
@NYCCCommonSense
to repeal the laws that created sanctuary city status.
Those wanted in other countries for crimes shouldn’t use us as a safe harbor.

Are we paying Comptroller Lander's salary for him to protest, engage in activism and run for Mayor? Or should we expect him to prioritize his job of overseeing our finances and auditing providers to prevent waste of our taxpayer dollars? Asking for a friend...

With the agency's history of overspending & inefficiency, why open the coffers wider? Let's kick this scam to the curb. Give NYers a break & axe the tax!

Only in a twisted society does law enforcement brace for riots because a criminal died while fleeing the police.
Suspending the sergeant is a terrible idea: it’ll only make policing much more difficult!

For $5 billion, we get migrants on mopeds, robbing, assaulting, and shooting at us. We get women raped under boardwalks and 13-year-old girls sexually assaulted in parks. Local businesses see a spike in shoplifting near migrant shelters.

Jumanne Williams has no idea what it takes to be a cop. He’s clueless. I’ve rode with the cops, and I talk with the COs. This guy is totally disengaged from reality. This is all about handcuffing police. This is all anti-public safety. (1/2)

is right. Our city and state governments have become more concerned with the rights of criminals than with the rights of law-abiding New Yorkers. Time to bring the pendulum back to the middle.
