Will the Next Mayor Act Decisively and Take Seriously Some Sound Recommendations to Create a Stronger NYC

About one month prior to the June 2025 primaries, the Citizens Budget Commission (CBC) posted CBC’s Mayoral Platform for NYC special feature. The nonpartisan, nonprofit civic think tank and financial watchdog of New York City and New York State government offered multiple recommendations focused on four priorities that the CBC feels are critical to address in order to create a stronger New York City. To stay competitive and compelling, the CBC points out that “the next mayor must act decisively to ensure New York City remains a magnet for talent, innovation and opportunity. The CBC has further emphasized that New York City is at a critical juncture, and the city’s mayor has the opportunity to play a pivotal role should they chose to make the sometimes difficult, but necessary smart choices to make sure that the city’s “value proposition is strong enough so that people and businesses want to come here, stay here, and flourish here.”
