The reduction in payments to the Mayor and his subordinates will save approximately $1 million
The current Coronovirus theme is still unique, and the city of New York needs help to deal with its city budget deficit. The article will talk about what the mayor of the city will do.
500 New York City Hall employees will be sent on leave, but without pay. The holiday will last one week. This is in order to reduce the city's budget deficit. This will begin in October this year and will end in March 2021. This was stated by De Blasio.
De Blasio says:"It will be difficult, but it will confirm that we are committed to a responsible city budget".
The City Hall has provided data that shows that more than 19,000 people have died since the start of the pandemic in New York City, and in 4,500 people, COVID-19 is considered probable cause of death, but diagnosis has not been confirmed by the laboratory.
De Blasio also explained that the city's budget had suffered huge losses due to the coronavirus. The amount of the loss was about $9 billion.
Approximately $1 million will be saved by reducing city hall payments.
De Blasio also says that he feels bad that people will lose their salaries, but there is no way out. The Mayor hopes that these cuts will help draw the attention of the state authorities and help the city. He also hopes to get an agreement with the union to cut municipal employees' wages.
De Blasio says:"If there is no agreement, the city authorities will have to fire thousands of employees".
