balling out as mayor is when you file for an emergency bail out in the first 6 months of your term bc your budget is insolvent and cannot be amended through taxation. 👍🏽

NYC didn’t file for an emergency bailout. You’re referring to Albany providing additional state aid to help close a budget gap. That’s a legitimate policy criticism if you think the city is becoming too dependent on state support, but it’s not the same thing as insolvency or bankruptcy.
