With tax
revenues booming, Mayor de Blasio on Tuesday proposed a new $ 82.2 billion
city budget that included goodies for just about every constituency, from a $ 50 million pool on Staten Island to animal shelters in Queens and The Bronx.
Mulgrew said layoffs are unnecessary since the
city has a $ 3.1 billion current - year surplus and
revenue from a
booming Wall Street is pouring into the
city's coffers.
