Posted by The City Council is scheduled to vote on the proposed 2010 city budget today.
Earlier this week, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the council hammered out a budget deal.
The $60 billion spending plan raises sales taxes by half a percentage point, though that still needs approval from Albany. It also cuts about a thousand jobs; a figure smaller than previously proposed.
The budget restores funds to keep 16 firehouses open, maintain six-day-a-week library service, and keep 100 Administration for Children’s Services caseworkers on the job.
