here's more of the mark simone show on w o r now hey we'll get to uh bruce springsteen whether you hear this new

masterpiece uh we'll get to jimmy phala he'll be with us a little later this hour so uh mom dani

he's like 12 years old, never had a job before.

He gets elected mayor.

And it's his first week.

He gets a major snowstorm.

And he gets a budget crisis where we're going to have a gap of like $12 billion that has to be made up.

Here's a guy who never had a job.

No financial experience of any kind. now he's got to do uh uh all kinds of

emergency things to fill this budget cap now a businessman looking at this would say well obviously

you're overspending you're a city one city and you got a budget of 120 billion that's's more than the budget of most states. So you

got to make cuts, you got to cut. But he doesn't know that. He thinks he has to increase taxes.

Now, he's blaming it on everybody else. He's blaming it on Adams. In 2025, under the banner of what

he called the best budget ever, former Mayor Eric Adams handed the next administration

a poisoned chalice. He systematically under budgeted services that New Yorkers rely on every

single day, rental assistance, shelter, and special education, while quietly leaving behind

enormous gaps for the future. And knowing his time in office was likely

coming to an end, Mayor Adams chose political self-preservation over fiscal responsibility.

Okay, he's not wrong then. Now, you cannot blame Mom Dani for this budget crisis. The guy just

took over five minutes ago. So it's not his fault. Adams was the mayor for the last four years,

so he left him with

this. He's also blaming Andrew Cuomo, which is good. You should blame Andrew Cuomo for everything
