The $66 billion budget adopted by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the New York City Council last week provided almost no relief for the city’s six prosecutors, whose budgets were cut by 1 percent. With the exception of the Staten Island District Attorney’s Office, the prosecutors received the amount the mayor had allocated in his executive budget.
But the Council allocated $250,000 of discretionary funds to keep Staten Island’s Drug Treatment Court operating for another year. The added funds will be used to pay the non-profit Treatment Alternatives for Safer Communities, which tests defendants for drug use and oversees their progress.
