Treyger tapped for city budget negotiating team
Brooklyn will have a seat at the table when city councilmembers sit down with de Blasio administration officials to hammer out an agreement for a new city budget.
Councilmember Mark Treyger, a Democrat representing Coney Island and parts of Gravesend and Bensonhurst, has been tapped by Council Speaker Corey Johnson to serve on the council’s budget negotiating team.
Under law, a budget agreement must be in place by July 1, when the city’s new fiscal year, Fiscal Year 2020, begins. “The negotiations can get intense,” Treyger told this newspaper.
