Mayor: All city schools will be open on Monday

“New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) on Sunday said GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump was “incredibly insensitive” to say he could “stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot people” and not lose voters”.

“I’m LIVE in south Brooklyn checking out storm conditions and the good work our NYC employees are doing”.

The de Blasio administration kicked off budget season on Thursday with an $82.1 billion preliminary budget for the 2017 fiscal year.

According to local officials, New York City is the most popular destination in the United States for worldwide tourists.

Metro North, Long Island Rail Road and above-ground Metropolitan Transportation Authority subway trains will all stop by 4 p.m., New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said.

American cities have struggled with pension costs, which in NY account for more than 11% of the city’s overall proposed budget. He assured crews will be in the borough Sunday to clear the roads.

De Blasio says New York City residents should leave their cars where they are if they can.

High winds battered the region, reaching 112 kilometres per hour in Wallops Island, Virginia, late on Friday, and whipping up the tides, said meteorologist Greg Gallina of the National Weather Service. “We know that we’re going to be dealing with snow throughout this week”.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says the city’s streets have never been safer.

Police said the exhaust pipe of the auto in which they were sitting was covered by snow, adding that the woman’s three-year-old daughter is critically ill.

“I want all New Yorkers to feel this is their responsibility and their mission to stay off the streets”, Mr.de Blasio said.

Mr.de Blasio said the Sanitation Department was ready to salt roads at “first flake” and would plow as soon as there was two inches of snow.

The mayor said the city must immediately direct $337 million to the Health and Hospital Corporation to keep it afloat while the public health system maps out a restructuring plan.
