明尼阿波利斯市议会预算委员会主席批市长2027年预算案 终版12月15日表决
明尼苏达州亨内平县明尼阿波利斯市消息，明尼阿波利斯市议会第十选区议员、预算委员会主席Aisha Chughtai11月7日公开批评市长Jacob Frey提出的2027年城市预算案，认为这份预算让最弱势的居民承担代价。她在文中指出，在联邦食品券削减导致儿童挨饿、六分之一明尼阿波利斯家庭面临食品无保障的背景下，市长预算取消了一项规模不大的食品无保障防治项目，并完全取消了一个曾为低薪工人追回数百万美元被拖欠工资的民权项目，与此同时却在警察加班费上增加支出，超过用于预防和应对无家可归问题的投入。她表示，市议会将在未来数周内审议预算案，争取在最终版本中纠正这些取舍。按照日程，2027年预算案的最后一次公开听证会和表决预计于12月15日举行。（本文据Chughtai议员的公开评论整理。）
Minneapolis Council Budget Chair Slams Mayor's 2027 Budget Proposal; Final Vote Set for Dec. 15
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — Minneapolis City Council Member Aisha Chughtai of Ward 10, who chairs the council's budget committee, publicly criticized Mayor Jacob Frey's proposed 2027 city budget on November 7, arguing it makes the most vulnerable residents bear the cost. Writing in an opinion piece, she said that with federal food benefit cuts leaving children hungry and one in six Minneapolis households facing food insecurity, the mayor's budget eliminates a modest food-insecurity prevention program and entirely cuts a civil rights program that had recovered millions of dollars in stolen wages for low-wage workers, while increasing police overtime spending beyond what goes to homelessness prevention and response. She said the council will work through the budget in the coming weeks to correct those choices in the final version. The final public hearing and vote on the 2027 budget are expected on December 15.
