The Citizens Budget Commission is a nonpartisan, nonprofit civic organization that attempts to influence change in the finances and services of New York City and New York State government.
CBC was founded in 1932, at a time of great fiscal crisis, when a group of distinguished civic leaders decided to start a research organization that would analyze the City’s finances, evaluate the management of city government, report on these matters to its members, and recommend improvements to municipal officials. In 1984 CBC expanded its research to include state as well as city government.
With a reputation as an independent and objective voice, CBC has been a catalyst for positive change in government finance, performance management, education, transportation, health care, and economic development.
The CBC is a nonpartisan, nonprofit civic organization whose mission is to achieve constructive change in the finances and services of New York City and New York State government. Its mission is rooted in serving the citizenry at large, rather than narrow special interests; preserving public resources, whether financial or human; and focusing on the well-being of future New Yorkers, the most underrepresented group in city and state government.
The research program is grounded in three fundamental beliefs:
Committees of trustees oversee the Commission’s research and take policy positions based on that research. CBC currently has five committees; other committees are created on an ad hoc basis. Recent ad hoc committees include Solid Waste Management, Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, State & Local Realignment, Rent Regulation, Public-Private Partnerships, Parks, and Public Authority Reform.
