No, NYC gov’t doesn’t need more money — it already has too much!

By NY Post Editorial Board   
April 29, 2023

Mayor Eric Adams’ budget, rolled out Wednesday, aims to shell out $106.7 billion in taxpayer funds yet still warns of multibillion-dollar cash shortfalls in coming years.

Not enough money to make ends meet? Ha!

Take one look at some of the ridiculous spending: The city has too much cash on its hands.

Consider these outlays:

    $100 million over six years for a 24/7 “public-health call center” — complete with doctors, nurses and phone agents.

Yes, during the pandemic, the Health Department fielded thousands of calls, but COVID was a once-in-a-century event.
