The leader of the nation’s mayors, while voicing “grave concern” about federal deficits, said that cuts in aid to cities, under discussion by the Reagan Administration, appear to be unacceptable. New Orleans Mayor Ernest N. (Dutch) Morial, president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, said in Washington that although he was awaiting details of the Administration’s fiscal 1986 budget, “reductions as have been proposed certainly appear to fall into the category of unacceptability.” Morial said he was particularly concerned about the future of multibillion-dollar federal revenue sharing and community development block grant programs.
