Dear Friends,
I’ve been privileged to serve as New York City Comptroller for two years, just past the halfway point in my term of office.
This past week, I laid out where we are with the City’s economy and budgetary outlook, what my office has been doing with short and long term fiscal challenges, and some ideas and initiatives to make New Yorkers and the City as a whole more economically and fiscally secure.
Through it all, I continue to stress that…
It’s not just about numbers, it’s about people.
It’s not just about costs, it’s about need.
It’s not just about recovery, it’s about equity.
As we all work to move New York City forward, you can expect me and my office to vigorously discharge our duties. Expect us to be objective and diligent. And expect us to defy conventional thinking and past practice when we feel it necessary.
Take a look at some recent news reports below.
Sincerely,
John C. Liu
