Cavalier Johnson: “I'm wrestling with again is a gap of about $100 million.”

“So I've instructed every single city department to submit proposed budgets that continue current services, but to do so without new programs or added efforts. And I've also asked for proposals to cut department budgets even more. So what I'm wrestling with again is a gap of about $100 million. And we will close that gap. Just like I mentioned, we closed the gap last year, just like the gap is closed every single year. It's state law.” (22:38–22:44)
