NEW analysis on the GOP megabill's core policy choice: each millionaire's tax cut is paid for by taking away health insurance from 4 people while reducing health care benefits from many others.

Do you think the City will be in another budget deficit this fiscal year? 🤔 With the start of fiscal year, we are tracking to see if the City is going to be in a third year of consecutive budget deficits. With city departments & services getting cut, let's see what happens.
