    NYC Mayor's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director addresses the administration's vision for a safe, clean city, but concerns are raised about budget cuts' impact on essential services.

    • The administration's vision focuses on safety, cleanliness, family support, and education.
    • Budget cuts discussed include $60 million to school meals, $170 million to early childhood education, and $20 million to parks, potentially undermining the vision.
    • Council Member Shekar Krishnan highlights the adverse effects of these cuts on school lunches, early childhood education availability, and parks maintenance.
    • Krishnan argues these budgetary decisions make the city less affordable for working families, with essential services at risk, challenging the administration's vision.
