She cut the fire department budget by $20 million. Equipment, supplies,
  and salaries were cut.

  That assertion is wrong. The city was in the process of negotiating a new
  contract with the fire department at the time the budget was being crafted,
  so additional funding for the department was set aside in a separate fund
  until that deal was finalized in November. In fact, the city’s fire budget
  increased more than $50 million year-over-year compared to the last budget
  cycle, according to Blumenfield’s office, although overall concerns about
  the department’s staffing level have persisted for a number of years.

  DEI obsessed fire chief…DEI office and bureaucracy.
