Capital New York:2012 Bloomberg proposes cuts to programs that 2005 Bloomberg called vital
By Azi Paybarah– Jun. 21, 2012
Even before a lawsuit blew a $1 billion hole in Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s proposed budget, he was proposing to cut millions of dollars in funding from after-school and child care programs.
Advocacy groups like the Campaign for Children have complained loudly that the cuts are too steep, and the reductions are strongly opposed by majority of the City Council.
