New York, Jan 20 (EFE) \u2013 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday called on the wealthy to “pay their fair share” after learning of a proposed state budget that increases spending on childcare but does not include tax hikes, one of his campaign promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governor Kathy Hochul unveiled her budget proposal for fiscal year 2026-2027, which begins in April and includes record spending of $260 billion (a 2% increase) without raising personal income or corporate taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the highlights of Hochul’s proposal, which will now be debated in the Democratic-controlled state legislature, is an increase in funding for childcare programs to approximately $4.5 billion, with the goal of providing “universal” service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Mamdani applauded the “significant investments that bring us closer to an affordable New York” through advancements in early childhood education, but noted that the city he leads is facing financial difficulties, which he blamed on his predecessor, Eric Adams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the state has a “solid” financial foundation, the city faces a budget shortfall of between $12 billion and $13 billion, identified by public auditors, which is “a direct result of Adams’s gross fiscal mismanagement,” the mayor asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
