A tractor-trailer carrying massive amounts of beer veered off the road and flipped, spilling thousands of gallons of grog onto Route 44 in Connecticut early Monday.
The massive spill shut down the road for hours, according to police.
Connecticut State Troopers arrived at the scene of the crash just before 5:40 a.m. on Monday and discovered thousands of cans of Michelob Ultra and Bud Light were scattered everywhere.
The road was closed for hours while cleanup crews propped up the damaged big rig and gathered the cans from the scene, cops said.

An extensive road closure was required because the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection was not properly notified about the crash, according to NBC Connecticut.
The crash remains under investigation.

LISTEN: CNBC Chief KC Sullivan on Transforming its Linear TV Business in a Digital World After the Versant Spinoff: ‘We’re Very Much on Offense’
On today’s episode of “Daily Variety” podcast, CNBC president KC Sullivan discusses the channel’s evolution following the Versant Media spinoff. The preeminent financial news network is transforming from a business rooted in linear cable to multiplatform digital. “We’re very much on offense,” Sullivan told Variety during last week’s Cannes Lions festival.
Sullivan, who has logged 17 years with CNBC and has held the top job since 2022, addressed the big issue that was on everyone’s lips at the festival: AI and the business disruption that is affecting every sector. For CNBC, that’s a big opportunity and also a challenge.

“Disruption is everywhere. And I think it’s an opportunity from an editorial coverage perspective. The amount of news flow is massive, whether it’s the intersection between Washington and Wall Street and business or AI disruption that’s disrupting all industries. The amount of content is massive, but also for our business and our ability to differentiate the content we have,” Sullivan says. “There’s a massive amount of commoditized content that’s out there. But I think for trusted brands that are delivering differentiated content, which is what we think about every day, that’s more and more important. We’re focusing on making sure we get our content to our audience how and where they want that. Because in years past there were only a few places where [CNBC] content was consumed. Now there’s been huge fragmentation of consumption. So you need to make sure that the content is getting delivered where and how that the audience wants it.”
CNBC was part of the Versant Media spinoff from NBCUniversal that took effect earlier this year. The transition has been energizing for the organization, Sullivan says.
“It’s a totally different game for us. We’re very much on the offense. We’re hiring. We’re looking at partnerships in a different way. We’re looking at M&A in a different way,” Sullivan says. “We have a very flat structure. So decision-making happens quickly and with a lot of urgency, and that’s been a really fun place to be in an industry that’s being highly disrupted. There are other media companies that are tightening the belt every quarter. We very much are trying to think about what’s the next big win? What’s the transformational win that we can do and we have the resources to do it. We have the management and board support to do it. Culturally, it’s been an injection of excitement for the organization.”

Skip to main content MetroMamdani’s $126B budget soars nearly 10% from last year, leaving NYC on verge of fiscal crisis

Add The New York Post on GoogleZo’s busting the budget.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural, record-breaking nearly $126 billion budget was set to pass Tuesday — growing city spending by more than $10 billion from last year despite his past dire warnings about the Big Apple’s financial situation.
The under-the-wire vote by the City Council came just hours before a Wednesday deadline and after frantic last-minute attempts to drum up votes for a spending deal that disappointed lefties and moderates alike.
The budget, which includes no significant cuts, ballooned from last year’s roughly $116 billion spending plan, for an approximate 8.5% increase.
And while the democratic socialist mayor managed to balance the budget, City Comptroller Mark Levine noted that he only did so by using $6.1 billion in one-time tricks and short-term savings.

“This agreement gets the city through an exceptionally difficult year, but it does not resolve the structural challenges ahead,” Levine said.
“With large out-year gaps, limited reserves and significant economic uncertainty, next year’s budget could be even more difficult.”
The city faces a whopping $8.8 billion shortfall for the next budget, according to the city comptroller’s office — setting up Mamdani and the Council for a potential bruising rehash of this year’s topsy-turvy negotiations.
Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin dutifully smiled for the cameras as they announced their handshake budget deal Tuesday morning, but their grins belied long-simmering tensions.
The budget hit an 11th-hour snag over Mamdani backtracking on a campaign promise to fund the expansion of a housing voucher program — a darling of progressive lawmakers that comes with a hefty price tag.
A skin-of-their-teeth deal preserved the cityFHEPS expansion — adding $175 million to $1.7 billion already on the books — and dropped a contentious lawsuit that Mamdani pursued, much to the dismay of his progressive allies.
And many moderates were blindsided by Mamdani flip-flopping on his promise to add 580 NYPD officers — itself a 180 from his campaign promises that angered his lefty comrades, who mounted a pressure crusade that seemingly led to his reversal.

The final $125.8 billion budget deal for the 2027 fiscal year included several notable funding increases, including:
- $6.6 billion for the NYPD — a $300 million bump over last year’s adopted budget.
- $38 billion for the Department of Education, swelling its budget by $3 billion from last year.
- $4.2 billion for the Department of Homeless Services, a $662 million increase from last year.
- $2.6 billion for the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, a $203 million spike from last year.
The budget also puts $350 million in general reserves, a fund that can provide a cushion if belt-tightening is needed last in the year.
But the spending plan ultimately failed to solve the city’s “huge structural budget problem,” said Andrew Rein, president of the Citizens Budget Commission watchdog.
Rein did praise Mamdani’s half-hearted efforts to curb spending growth and waste.
“Unfortunately, that fiscal progress is partly offset by new recurring spending without simultaneous savings to pay for it,” Rein said.
“Two steps forward, one step back slow walks the restructuring needed to stave off a fiscal crisis.”
A fiscal crisis is precisely what Mamdani claimed the city faced after he took office in January, dramatically blaming his predecessor, former Mayor Eric Adams, for leaving him with a $12 billion budget shortfall.
The young mayor revised the estimate to $5.4 billion, contending the gap could be bridged either by taxing the rich or hiking property taxes nearly 10% across the board.
The clear ploy to pressure Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state Legislature to approve a levy on the wealthy dovetailed with Mamdani backing $23 billion in new taxes during his early days in office.
Few of those taxes came to fruition aside from a pied-à-terre tax on luxury second homes, which officials estimated would generate between $340 million and $500 million in annual revenue.
Mamdani was more successful, however, in securing $4 billion in effective bailouts from Hochul that largely delayed massive spending.

Still, the mayor’s seeming successes weren’t enough for some of his progressive allies. No Democratic Socialists of America lawmakers were at the Mamdani-Menin handshake photo op, and several progressive also skipped it.
Before the Council voted on the budget, Mamdani’s camp desperately tried to push progressives who were unhappy with the housing vouchers deal to hold their noses and approve the budget, sources said.
Two progressives told The Post the cajoling wasn’t enough, but wouldn’t say how’d they ultimately vote.
“But we’ll get there,” said Councilman Lincoln Restler (D-Brooklyn).
