1% of city budget to NYC Parks

Campaign pledge: allocate 1% of total city budget to Parks (~$1.247B at $124.7B budget). FY27 Executive Budget adds only $15M — Parks remains at roughly 0.5%, ~$767M short of the 1% target by 2030. Spokesperson statement (May 12): "Mayor remains committed to achieving the 1% for parks pledge by the end of his mayoralty." Status remains broken for FY27 specifically; trajectory commitment renewed.
