Behind the late-night budget deal - 48 hills
Briefly

A tentative agreement was reached between the mayor and the supes, primarily addressing organized labor's priority to prevent layoffs of front-line city workers temporarily. However, the deal does not protect all employees from pink slips, as some managers and attorneys will still face layoffs. Despite managing to save $26 million for essential nonprofit services, cutting $180 million over two years weighs heavily on the vulnerable demographics. Critics criticize the budget as lacking celebration, with many expressing discontent over its impact on the working class and the prioritization of policing over programs meant to prevent crime.
Under the circumstances there are no good options.
This budget is still balanced on the backs of the poor and working class.
