New York’s City Council says the city has more money to spend next year than the amount Mayor Adams laid out in his 2026 executive budget proposal. Council leadership is offering up a $117-billion dollar proposal of their own for the city’s next fiscal year, which starts in July.

Justin Brannan is the chair of the city councils budget committee. He also represents southwest Brooklyn, including Bay Ridge and Coney Island. He talked with WNYC's Sean Carlson more about the council's budget proposal.
