Mayor Michelle Wu did not rule out potential hiring freezes and layoffs if President Trump's policies lead to worsening financial crises.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu proposed a $4.8 billion city budget that she says may need to be adjusted down the line depending on the outcome of potential federal funding cuts, some of which the city is already challenging in court.

The proposed budget marks a 4.4% increase from last year. It would eliminate nearly 500 city government positions that have been vacant for over a year.
