More City Budget Cuts to Come

'Tis the season for depressing news: The Bloomberg administration wants to cut another $1.4 billion from the city's upcoming budget (he announced the first round last month). Each city agency face the same percentage of cuts, either 5% (or 7% if the city needs to spend less). The Daily News reports, "The Fire Department has been told to postpone a scheduled academy class of 110 new Bravest next month. The NYPD lost one class in the first round of cuts." And today, Mayor Bloomberg said this second round of cuts might not be enough: “The next cut is firehouses." The FDNY recently announced cutbacks for night tours at four units.
