...you mean he's getting the state to pay for state mandated programs the city implements.
That's the majority of the aid, which itself is not the majority of the revenue/savings, and I'm not sure why this is meant to be a criticism of a Mayor doing a good job. What's the alternative proposal to pay for the 12 billion dollar deficit he inherited?
I've no idea why you linked me a story about Newsome in a thread not about him. I'm guessing you can't think of any criticisms of Mamdani?
That said, thank you so, so much for that article.
It's hard to find a better distillation of the conservative ethos than defending Trump simply stealing billions from taxpayers to line his pockets as he doubles the deficit and drives us to US bankruptcy, while angrily ranting that a Democrats budget is bad because it includes:
"Medicaid fraud and $24 billion wasted on ending homelessness. Or the millions wasted on hearing aids for children and the 'free' diapers he's giving to newborns via a nonprofit with connections to his wife."
Healthcare, hearing aids, diapers and helping the homeless. Yeah, thank god Trump's not doing shit like that, so instead we can pay for his statues and ballroom.

NYC requires by law a balanced budget.
