That sucks. But NYC isn't in a financial crisis. We're very much in a "the mayor is a cop and wants his friends in the NYPD to keep getting paid big for unnecessary overtime" crisis, and he's snatching that money from our public services. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Thank you for pushing back on the "it's on you" narrative that rich people love to peddle!

NYC currently has a budget *surplus.* There was no need for the library cuts... except to pay for the NYPD's overspending. This pleases wealthy conservatives who see NYC as a town full of scary lefties and marginalized people who need to be controlled.
