The head of the City Council's finance committee is pushing for more money that he says is not acknowledged in Mayor Eric Adams’ proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

Brooklyn Councilman Justin Brannan joined “Mornings On 1” Tuesday, saying the city has access to about $6 billion in revenue not accounted for in the mayor’s budget. He noted the excess funds are due to the city’s resiliency in the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The post-COVID city economy has proven to be durable and resilient and defying all expectations. Even as the rest of the state sputters, New York City's economy is strong. And we're coming back strong. Jobs are back, tourism is back, and we've got what we need right now to restore a lot of these cuts that we're making," Brannan said.

The City Council and the mayor’s office must reach an agreement on the city's budget before the fiscal year begins on July 1.

He was among a group of lawmakers who expressed concerns on Monday during a press briefing where council leaders presented their response to the mayor’s $109.4 billion budget proposal.

Brannan did acknowledge the challenges that now arise with the expiration of COVID federal stimulus money, noting the need for permanent funding solutions.

Meanwhile, he addressed concerns about proposed cuts affecting services such as law enforcement, fire departments and public libraries.

“Suggesting that we have to cut cops or the fire department because of migrant costs, it was just never necessary, and it also never happened. But I think the average New Yorker is struggling to understand that,” he said. “And what we're seeing now is that all of the cuts that were made—whether they were proposed or actually put into action—they're not necessary and we've got the money we need to restore all of them.”

Adams had originally proposed cutting costs for the NYPD, FDNY, Department of Sanitation and more due to rising migrant costs. However, in January, he reversed the cuts, noting that they city overestimated expenses.
