Plus an all hose, no drain situation.

I appreciate the apology. I'm working to cope with your sex play by injecting your pollen into my arms via. an allergist on a weekly basis for the next 3 years.

How do you feel about that?! I'm a part of it now!

I agree. I find IBO's estimates at yesterday's hearing to be most accurate, and and they said that while this year could tolerate more spending without issues, in two years it would be an issue with current estimates because of the risk of recession and higher interest rates on debt.

Just saying that Council Finance is actually pretty conservative based on my interactions, they're just more transparent than the Mayor's office because their documents have to be written to any council member's understanding. Whereas OMB really is wonky. Not bad! I respect OMB staff I've worked with. Just, not inherently transparent.

2020 reforms for fairness to stop issues like Kalief Browder included Speedy Trial, Bail Reform, and Discovery reform. All at once. What it didn't include? More money. More money to comply with the new standards. To hire relevant staff. To invest in the Alternatives to Incarceration that work, and report people who stop adhering to their ATI mandate while in community.

That doesn't excuse what happened, but it does make it more understandable in knowing that the learning curve to so many changes would be a rough one.

Something to factor in though is cost of living. In a concentrated area condensed to a few hundred square miles, it's a bit harder to say that costs can be spread thinner across more areas where real estate and land don't comparatively much cheaper, or more available. NY States' budget is roughly $200 billion, double NYC's but for the whole state. Makes sense given that there is way more land, and thus not as expensive for a dollar to serve a person whose relative needs and subsidy with tax dollars are cheaper to effect.

City Council Finance's projections and math is available online. They have public hearings happening now to understand the issue, and listen to the public testify about it. They also invite the independent budget office and others to discuss.

Is it that you just want a smaller budget due to fiscal conservatism? Or do you like have an axe to grind with the City Council Finance Division?

So these are the MFs that wreck me during the spring tree pollen season. Damn slutty trees spilling their pollen everywhere...

Anyway. Thank you allergy shots.

Me too!

And late to the game timing. Billions have been spent and earmarked for redevelopment of the site. To advance this proposal now would just be to try to derail meaningful strides that have been made. Additionally, MSG is apparently a pain to negotiate with, I can't imagine them saying 'yeah., we don't want to OK some construction that may temporarily impede our operations, but you can tear the whole thing down.'

Seems sus.
