The New York City Council’s budget response to Mayor Bill de Blasio included $15 million to support parity in pay between local defender and legal services offices with the city’s Corporation Counsel, but the former group of attorneys says there should be more.

The Legal Aid Society said in a statement Wednesday that if City Council and de Blasio really wanted to guarantee parity between attorneys who represent indigent defendants and individuals and the city’s attorneys, they should set aside $30 million in the city budget.
