If people don't "get it", that we are in a huge budgetary crisis they certainly will soon enough with more fire houses closing and lay-offs, cuts. I don't understand how the mayor can hire his campaign staff to come work at City Hall, all with 6 figure salaries to the tune of over 2 million dollars when we have to endure these kind of cuts. The NYPD is at a record low number policing over 8 million people that live, work or visit here. When city council voted themselves a raise, the NYPD starting salary was lowered. I don't understand how supposed leaders can vote themselves a raise when the NYPD's starting salary was lowered. Is city council going to unvote themselves a raise? These cuts are more than worrisome. Thanks, Suzannah B. Troy
