“In this year's bill we have appropriated $500 million more to the city than was appropriated last year. So we have not denied this city financially. It has always been a question of management, not money. In fact, every day you read about mismanagement in this city. In today's newspapers there was an article about $11,376 used over a two-month period by the Child Welfare Department for sex calls. The article was printed in this morning's papers. Every day there is mismanagement pointed up in the press. It is not a question of money. It has been a question of discipline, of obeying the law and of moving forward. We have tried to put all of this together, adequate funds with adequate discipline. We hope this body will vote for this bill.”
