NYC COUNCIL MEMBER RODRIGUEZ RESPONDS TO MAYOR DE BLASIO'S PRELIMINARY FY '18 BUDGET

New York, NY -- Council Member Rodriguez responded to Mayor de Blasio's preliminary FY '18 budget with the following statement:

"As uncertainty abounds with a potentially hostile administration taking over in Washington, Mayor de Blasio is helping to put a down payment on New York's future in this budget. With serious investments in Vision Zero, we're seeing an administration committed to ending traffic fatalities on our streets, while improving infrastructure across the city. I look forward to hearing more details about a number of items in this budget, while continuing to find ways to support hard working New Yorkers through funding Fair Fares and the continued expansion of Citi Bike."
