He says NYPD staffing and the mental health crisis need to be fixed, suggesting a need for long-term psychiatric care so people can get off the streets into care.

Levine shared what standing up to the future mayor would look like, saying the comptroller should call out corruption and remain unbiased in city government.

The current Manhattan borough president says he will fight back against President Donald Trump’s attacks on the city budget, and discussed how tariffs are impacting local small businesses.
