Reply to comment by drpvn in NYC public libraries say proposed budget cuts may 'push us over the edge' by King-of-New-York

It wouldn't be cutting schools it would be finally doing something about the DOE's massive administrative bloat.

I fear the administrative bloat would remain and critical functions of the DOE would suffer

This will never happen, any budget cuts will just get passed immediately to classroom.

Police aren’t even that massive a part of the city budget compared with other cities.
