NYC Mayor Eric Adams: cuts coming to police, fire, and sanitation to pay for "migrants"

"The NYPD may still have to make more cuts to the department next year — even with the next five police academy classes already being axed as part of this year’s migrant cost cutting, the mayor revealed Tuesday.

“We don’t want to do anything that’s going to endanger public safety, that’s the foundation that the city is built on,” Mayor Eric Adams said, but conceded, “Everything is on the table.”

The NYPD, along with FDNY and DSNY, appeared to be spared from the next round of cuts after a memo went out to city agencies from City Budget Director Jacques Jiha that called on the city to slash migrant costs by 20% in January.

“NYPD, FDNY, and DSNY are exempted from the January PEG [program to eliminate the gap] out of concern that additional budget cuts at this time could impact public safety, health and cleanliness,” he wrote in the memo obtained by The Post."
