If Dems don't defend libraries, WTF are they for?

RT @[email protected]

NYC mayor Eric Adams is demanding city libraries to cut their budgets by $13.6 million by the end of fiscal year 2023, and another $20.5 million over the next 3 fiscal years. This will be devastating for the services and operations of the library system.

Eric Adamsā€™s Public Library Cuts Would Devastate a System Average New Yorkers Need

New Yorkā€™s public libraries are essential institutions providing a wide range of services and cultural programming on top of books and media. If Eric Adamsā€™s proposed library cuts go through, huge numbers of New Yorkers will suffer immensely.

I was going to say that, but NY Dems have some, umm, wide variations in outlook, shall we say. I wouldnā€™t call Cuomo a Dem for that matter.
