CITY HALL — Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented a budget proposal Thursday that despite being far less painful than in previous years, still included a host of controversial cuts, including fire company closures and the elimination of tens of thousands of child-care slots.
The $68.7 billion budget, unveiled at City Hall, includes no new teacher layoffs and no additional cuts from those laid out when the administration previously updated its budget in the fall.
