City Council leaders claimed the Big Apple’s coffers are flush with billions more in cash than the mayor’s office projected – and they want to use the extra dough to spend millions on education, mental health and housing services. City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams unveiled the council’s $116. 8 billion proposed budget for next fiscal year that would commit hundreds of millions of expenses due to a more optimistic outlook on city finances than the mayor’s proposed spending plan.
