The mayor has also asked state legislators for authority to borrow money to pay expenses, but Albany lawmakers have so far balked.

NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city is moving forward with “painfully real” plans to lay off 22,000 public workers on Oct. 1 unless another source of cash comes through.

De Blasio confirmed the layoff plans are progressing after POLITICO first reported Tuesday that agencies have been ordered to come up with a list of employees being considered for job cuts by the end of next week.

“The overwhelming cost of local government is personnel. Where we put our money is into the people who provide services to New Yorkers, whether they’re first responders, health care workers, sanitation workers, educators, you name it,” de Blasio told reporters Wednesday.

His years of hard work creating a socialist "paradise" are coming into focus.  He has shown everyone what will happen once democrats get control of the government.  As Trump predicted, a socialist "paradise" is a third world sh*t hole. :yowsa:

As long as none are police, I'd call laying off 22K bureaucrats a good start. Cumo and de Blah-Blah are killing NY's and NYC's economy, so I don't have a lot of sympathy for these bureaucrats who were getting paid while productive people have had their businesses crushed without even an opportunity to show they could do business safely.

OTOH, 22K layed off folks may have 10 voting friends and family.  Deblaz probably won't worry about a 250K voting loss next term.  /s

AL:
As I recall, they cut the trash collectors first, then anything public safety.  Blue states are all in a mess.  Its almost like they are in competition for being the most mismanaged sh=thole in the country.
