"New York's neo-communist mayor Zohran Mamdani's new budget raises a disquieting question: Is Mamdani putting America's foremost city in irreversible decline? During his campaign for mayor, Mamdani didn't disguise his radical intentions or his deep antisemitism. Since winning election, he hasn't moderated his agenda one bit, appointing far-left fringe figures as aides and as heads of city departments. He hasn't missed an opportunity to display his hatred of Israel."
"Any doubts about the rottenness of the Big Apple's mayor have now been removed by his proposed budget. It's taking a bloated government and putting it on steroids. The size of Mamdani's spending is obscene-$127 billion, which is $10 billion more than last year's. He demonstrates the far-left's knack of debasing the English language by calling it austere. To put Mamdani's budget in context, it's $10 billion larger than Florida's budget, a state with almost three times the population of New York City."
Zohran Mamdani proposes a $127 billion city budget, $10 billion higher than last year, while labeling it austere. He appointed far-left aides and department heads and is accused of expressing antisemitism and hostility to Israel. Policy moves target commercial real estate owners and apartment landlords through expanded rent control, which critics say causes maintenance neglect and abandonment and advances government control of housing. Critics point to managerial failures, including snowstorm and sanitation mishandling. The budget exceeds Florida's by $10 billion despite New York City's much smaller population. Mamdani is pressuring state officials to raise city income taxes on the wealthy.
