I mean, NYC generates roughly $68B in tax revenue for New York State annually. The city getting 5% of that back to support infrastructure and social programs is neither unreasonable nor inherently unsustainable. And being able to negotiate that as a form of reappropriation of taxes already generated by NYC is probably a solid investment for the state if Mamdani’s policies ultimately help stabilize the city’s finances and expand long-term economic growth and revenue generation.

Agreed but my point has nothing to do with commenting on whether its fair or not (and koodos to him for securing a good deal for his people which deserves its own credit).  What ur describing is a very typical structure anyway between levels of government (same here in Canada). 

 

A comment responded to a question of how he did it by mentioning tax hikes on the rich and finding savings and completely ignored that at least 1/3 of the budget fix came from budget reallocation from a different level of government not net new revenue or savings so leaving that out almost feels intentional to praise him higher.

 

If a conservative managed to fix a deficit and had 1/3 of that done by State realocation id be willing to bet it would be immediately pointed out without hesitation by at least half the comments :sweat:

 

So again, just trying to be fair in analysis by not ignoring important details thats all

I will celebrate the day sense wins in politics again, but to be fair western politicians have done some horrid things that would’ve gotten old administrations thrown out so easy.

Fun fact, she recently took the lead in 2028 Democratic presidential hopefuls :lolly: 

Her, Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, and Kamala Harris. In that order, I think.

Whimsical bitch

Now the question is will Democrats help her run? They got in the way of Bernie last time and insisted in promoting Joe...

They're less likely to go fully against her - she's always been part of the party etc. Bernie deliberately made himself an outsider. So it was easier to throw the internal machinery against him.

The gays know how to party

Thats a good point. They may at least not fight as hard
