I can't get enough of this idiot. 36 years old and never had a job. Jew hater muslim communist. LOL! Can it get any more fucked up than that? He's been in office for about 45 days and he is learning quickly that his maff is a bit off. If he imposes a 9% property tax on the city, all hell is going to break loose. The rats who made this happen are about to get it good and I will be watching with joy.
After promising an explosion of new spending on free buses, free child care, and lower rents, Mamdani unveiled his first budget this week, which is a $127 billion plan for a city of 8.5 million people. To put that in perspective, the state of Florida has a population almost three times that of New York City, 23 million, and manages to provide government services for $10 billion less, $117 billion, than the Big Apple does.
Mamdani’s budget includes more than $1 billion in new child care spending, including for pre-K and daycare programs, but it does not amount to the universal free child care plan he promised. The budget also includes multi-million dollar boosts for the “Commission on Racial Equity,” the “Commission on Gender Equity,” and the city’s “Climate Office,” while a planned 5,000-officer increase to the city’s police force was slashed entirely. So, more leftist nonsense and no more law enforcement.
Even with his deep cuts to public safety, Mamdani faced a $5.4 billion budget shortfall, which he proposes to fill first by raiding $1.2 billion from the city’s reserve fund and by raising property taxes throughout the city by 9.5%. Mamdani voters, who predominantly live in the outer borough neighborhoods and work in service industries, nonprofit organizations, and the media — people who Washington Examiner political guru Michael Barone dubbed the “barista proletariat” — may believe this tax won’t fall on them because they don’t own any property. However, property taxes are the single largest expense for housing providers in New York City, and the only way they can pay higher property taxes is by hiking rents.
Instead of lowering rents as he promised, one of Mandami's first acts as mayor will be to raise rents on the voters who put him in office.
