I'm trying to square yesterday's November Plan against the documents released during budget season. The release yesterday modifies the expense budget for this year, increasing it by $2.3B

Press releases from the NYC Mayor & City Council about the budget are frustrating because they are meant to craft institutional narratives around the budget process. Power relations between the Council and the Mayor are adversarial, so their public statements about the budget are not consonant

New York City publishes open budget data alongside official budget documents, but it's poorly documented. And in spite of its "clean data" appearance, it requires professional data work before it can be used for analysis.
