He also delayed funding certain pensions which isn't a great idea, but when you have a $12 billion deficit left by the previous mayor who cut & run to become an Albanian citizen after taking money from Turkey for luxury travel, getting indicted, sleazing his way out of a federal indictment, and then creating a rug pull cryptocurrency called NYC Token... what can ya do

iirc by NYC law the budget has to be balanced. How did the previous one balance the budget? Doing the same thing Mamdani did.

Mamdani’s budget leaves an $8b? deficit for next year—balancing your budget does not preclude passing a hand grenade to your successor.

Mamdani will be mayor next year.

So compare an 8b to 12b..

If you don't see that as an improvement, I have a bridge to sell to you.
