The one where a term-limited Council passes its last budget together, and turns roll call into a 51-member farewell
Contents & search
It's the recessed June 2021 stated meeting, and the FY2022 budget is the headline: Speaker Corey Johnson calls it 'our last budget together as a council,' a rainy-day fund pushed up to a billion dollars, adult literacy baselined at $8M, 3-K funding for all of Manhattan. But the story is the goodbye. Term-limited members, Chin, Levin, Gennaro, Cumbo, Johnson himself, fold farewells into their vote explanations. Nearly every member chains a conflict-of-interest disclosure to their aye. And a small dissent bloc holds firm: Borelli and Yeger vote no on the budget, tax levy, and 'usurious' interest
“Preconsidered resos sixteen ninety one and sixteen ninety two, base percentage and adjusted base proportion. Coupled on general orders.”
— clerk
“the largest budget for the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in the history of this city at two and a quarter billion dollars”

“need help. This pandemic was so difficult for so many children and young people, and we're taking steps to address so many of the problems that we've had in the past. We're investing $18,000,000”

“School of Inquiry and Social Justice in The Bronx is funded in the budget we're adopting, and my brother is associated with this entity”
