New York City will cut overtime pay for its police officers and three other agencies to help reduce costs driven by the city’s unprecedented migrant crisis, City Hall announced Monday.
Jacques Jiha, the budget director for Mayor Eric Adams’s administration, told the city’s police, fire, corrections, and sanitations departments in a Saturday memo to each submit an overtime pay reduction plan “to reduce year-to-year OT spending.”
He also wrote the four departments must submit monthly reports “to track overtime spending and their progress in meeting the reduction target” once Adams issues the order.

How about the top level administrators set an example and take a voluntary 15% pay cut? How about defunding the DEI departments city-wide? School administrators in NYC are fabulously overpaid, how about a 15% cut for them? City council gonna set an example? Education and social services comprise 48% of the budget while police, fire and corrections comprise 9%. So, where's the fat? 48% or 9%?

Gee, it was "migrants". Gee, it was "asylum seekers". Perhaps it is illegal to use ILLEGALS.

Dear stressed-out New York cops: now your family has to feed their family whether you like it or not, if you don't like it move to Florida.
Don't expect City Hall to help you out.

The people who voted in the idiots who have run NYC into the ground don't care. They'd prefer it if there was no one to enforce the 'laws'. Heck, I can steal more 'reparations' without cops.

NYC will soon like a roach Motel. You can check-in but you can never check out. In other words you can move into NYC but you can't move out. The poor people who have no skills, no education, no healthcare, no money, no future are moving into NYC by the thousands...mean-while the tax paying people with jobs and money are moving out by the thousands.
Crime is soaring and police are in short-supply and their overtime pay is getting cut.
Good luck NYC...you voted for these commies.

# 1 - I worked for the state at one point. People were always complaining about how much money state workers made so now and then the state would make 'budget' cuts. The cuts were never the overly paid administrators. It was always at the service level, us. And people would come in complaining about long waits to be seen. So administrators will never cut their salary, costs will be cut way down the line. If I were a policeman in New York, I'd leave. Aside from the pay issue, that town is dying anyway.

#3, why would Floridians want them? The cops are responsible for their plight since they voted for the d's because the d's give them gobs of goodies for 'free'.

A former Oregon governor named Kitzhaber used to go after the state police crime labs budget whenever he didn't get his way about something he wanted. He was a loathsome democrat and I am glad he got kicked out of the office thanks to his crooked trollop girlfriend.

NR is so woke, they're still in footie pajamas! They now call illegal interlopers ''migrants.'' Woke or joke, it matters little.

this is not gonna make the line officers, who many times, depend on the OT to pay for the extras very, shall we say, happy??? don't think so
- and especially living in Gotham Town where you take out a loan to buy a loaf of bread, this will really resonate well with the grunts, not so much with the "Brass"
- good move Captain America, Eric Adams, good move, you just pee'd off your line officers and their low level Supervisors, who actually make your department work --- you idiot!!

Always find it interesting how police and fire , health and safety departments, are always the fist to be cut during any "crisis ". Why not the administrative fat? How many DEI Officers does the city really need? Bet those diversity quotas are more than met.

How about sending the illegals back home? That would solve the problem in a heartbeat. Instead, they turn themselves inside out cutting needed services in order to spend taxpayer money to house, feed, and cosset illegal immigrants who have broken our country’s laws? How is this rational?

#3, Bite your Tongue! We in Florida have a Governor who made sure we wouldn't turn into NY! That said, If those in Charge in NY really wanted to fix their Illegal Problems, they could load up Planes and send them back! It would cost less than taking care of their every need for their Lifetime!! But, nobody seems to ever think of Sending them back, so, you reap what you sow! Also, the Democrat Governors could gang up against Biden's Guy and demand the Border be shut TODAY! But, they won't do that either!

I'm sure that the ranks of the NYPD are full of good dedicated people but their hands and feet are tied to the point that what they do today is basically useless, like filling out the paperwork when kids are shot in the street. Why not cut their base pay as well and stop pretending? You have a police force that has been rendered useless so why pay them at all? Eric Adams used to be a cop so he should know better and I would bet that's what the rank and file thought when they elected his sorry, useless butt.

Up next, empty the prisons and turn them into 'immigration centers'. Criminals are considered a constituency anymore and an important one at that. They know how to cheat and don't feel guilty about it in the least.

I remember when NYPD stood by while minorities were looting Macy’s at 34th Street.

Any idea where the New York money is going...and why so many cops are quitting...I don't blame them...protect your families and get the h___ out of New York...let the mayor and his political family members figure out how to solve this problem...maybe obama can send them 12 billion or so to get them in the green column again....easy solution....just learn how to run a city...and cut some corners...WE're all doing it out here in fly over country...it's called a budget that balances at the end of each month....

NYC police support DEMOCRATS. Their unions are controlled by DEMOCRATS. When the police start standing up as physicians/nurses/whistleblowing scientists have done against their democrat employers, they will be helping clean up the roach motel their city has become. Until they are willing to fight the corruption, there will be very little sympathy.

I would stop encouraging New Yorkers to move somewhere else. They created the mess, let them go down with the ship. If they leave, they will be "somewhere else" without the requisite re-education and it could be your hometown.

It is not a "migrant" crisis. These people are illegal invaders and, in some cases they are criminal invaders. They should be deported, not given taxpayer money and provided shelter.

And what next in NYC? Perhaps put kerosene in the 'fire trucks'? Or just get rid of fire trucks altogether?

Hey Noo Yawk!
How's that 'Sanctuary City' jazz -that y'all were so proud of- working out for ya?
Looks to me to be one more reason for me to stay 1,000 miles away!
Oh, and after all those years y'all spent looking down your nose at us Rubes out here in Flyover country, don't start squalling for us to bail you out now.
You Made your bed, now you get to Lie Down in it!
