Wait... What happened to property tax reform to ameliorate his rent control freezes? Not that anyone really believed he'd do that...
just elected mayor and running for governor already
.........and if you wanna hear God laugh, tell him your plans.

Another way to think of this budget.
$1 billion for every pound he can bench press.
May need to update that to about 2 1/2 billion per pound
Imagine living in the Finger Lakes or Adirondacks regions of New York state and having a even bigger portion of your tax dollars going to the bottomless pit known as NYC!
Ooof.
Ooof.

Don't even have to live in New York state to have to support NYC. If you live in CT or NJ yet work in NYC, you are taxed out the wazoo for that privilege.
Sad to think that many, especially young think government can just pull money out of their butt to spend, and they are brainwashed by media to think it is bigoted and racist to say "no".
Media will lose advertisers and bubbleheaded bleachblondes will be replaced by state. Talk about digging your own grave.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.
Well…I know where $1.2B of the shortfall can be covered…

Man! Those Sanctuary Cities sure do cost a lot.

I am beginning to think that this socialism isn't being done right either.
As Margaret Thatcher once said - Socialists would rather the poor be poorer, so long as the rich are less rich.
In the end game of socialism, you either eventually run out of other people's money or you run them off to greener pastures.
Turns out, feee things cost money

He needs to get the skull-busting NYPD back up to strength to clean up the town and get tourists back. If you mess with billionaire's and corporation's money, they'll just leave and the working class will end up paying anyway.
More money in, less money wasted on welfare and that'll but a big old dent in your deficit.

As usual not one penny can be cut. NYC running a tight ship.

He is pushing more defunding of police

Still true today.
Ford to City: Drop Dead
We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have, or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-b******, were going to rip out their living G*******d guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun c********** by the bushel-f****** basket. War is a bloody killing business. You've got to spill their blood or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shot them in the guts.
Why limit corruption to just the city. Spread the love to the whole state.
NYC public school teachers voted overwhelmingly for Mamdani.

The United Federation of Teachers, representing NYC public school teachers, endorsed Mamdani, with 64% of delegates voting for him.
He’s now raiding their pension fund.
Doesn't this guy wipe his rear with his hand and fingers? Is it any wonder he does not understand fiscal matters?

Feel that warm collectivism. You shall give up your retirement, comrades.

NYC's operating budget was 120 billion last year.
Houston's was 7 billion.
Lost Angeles' was 14 billion.
Clearly New York isn't taxing the rich enough.
Wow, that's a huge difference.
If they would stop the sanctuary policies and stop spending $$ accommodating illegal immigrants and bloating their welfare and social safety net programs they wouldn't have a shortage and need to be looking at raising taxes, all taxes, that hit everyone even the working poor and especially the middle class.
Not ONE word of cutting spending….

Communists are some of the most disgusting people to ever inhabit this earth.
They paid for their wars with your tax dollars and also with your untaxed dollars. Inflation is theft.

They aren't people.
No one has said a word about looking for waste or fraud. That could easily bring down their budget, but we all know they don't want to look for that…

NYC with just under 4x the population of Houston, and 17x the budget…….. wow.
Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really
Dallas and Austin among others will benefit with the exodus of companies and New Yorkers that work. Then they'll turn Texas blue. In 20 years those same companies will flee to whatever red state is left if any. Rinse and repeat…
Slick

Trying to make them look better but we can't. Los Angeles is #2 in population at 3.9M with a budget of *only* $14B. That's still a massive disconnect for New York.
This warms my heart. I pray Mandami breaks every left wing fool that voted for him.nortex97 said:NYC public school teachers voted overwhelmingly for Mamdani.
