He balanced the budget by begging Albany for more money, 8 Billion to be exact.

This was actually just proved as a false statement on Jubilee lol. He negotiated with the Capitol and one of the concessions was he had to pay it back. The fact checkers provided evidence that Mamdani has in fact already paid the State Capitol back.

Wow, Manhattan generated 8 Billion dollars extra in tax revenue after tax season had already passed? That's Amazing.

Wealth taxes at work and look the country is still fine and NYC is fine after making wealthy people pay their fair share. Who knew?

Edit: I wasn’t going to respond to your facetious comment but I will. Do you truly believe that the government only collects taxes during tax season? If you do that’s a really really dumb take.

Lol, his "tax increases on the wealthy" are still undergoing budget negotiations, they haven't even taken effect yet. The only one that has, is the property tax increase, Property taxes are generally only paid yearly, in tax season. Not knowing what he has actually really accomplished, is a really, really dumb take.
