Interesting take and does make sense.
@aloha-hoosier he's the godfather and a bully. but politicians are stupid. at once they're good with people while also being so partisan and scared they lose the forest for the trees. xmas lighting or something in chicago tons of gun shots, shootings, etc. the mayor of chciago has to be about the worst ever. and pritzker sucks balls. but if i were that mayor and trump was saying all i send troops to help i'd scream BRING IT!!!!!!!!! bring them in. LFG. i'll take any help i can get. then i'd campaign on it. look what i did!! i reduced crime. put things aside and worked with a bully because i can and will work with anyone to make our city better. and guess what i saved us some bucks bc they paid for it.
but no. pritzker. the mayor. they really only care about getting the jobs. having power. they don't actually care about making things better
When this fails, I can't wait to hear who these morons blame it on:

You don't think governments should balance their budgets?

Apparently budget cuts are, as they are for seemingly any politician, a third rail. He's going up against a pretty entrenched Democratic establishment in both the statehouse and city/boroughs. Good luck I guess. Playing chicken with Hochul who's already given him a $1.5b handout. I guess those free busses aren't going to pay for themselves.Things are going great @goat

Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday proposed to raise property tax rates in New York City by nearly 10 percent, a measure he is preparing as a “last resort” to be deployed if he cannot persuade Gov. Kathy Hochul to raise income taxes on the wealthy.
The suggested 9.5 percent increase would affect more than 3 million single-family homes, co-ops and condos and over 100,000 commercial buildings, Mr. Mamdani said as he delivered his preliminary spending plan.
The mayor acknowledged that his proposal would not merely force the wealthy to pay more taxes, but would also be a “tax on working- and middle-class New Yorkers,” and stressed that this was not his first choice.
But he noted that New York City mayors had little authority to raise taxes without the governor’s and Legislature’s acquiescence, and said that a city property tax increase — combined with raiding the city’s reserve funds — was the only way to address a looming budget deficit projected to reach $5.4 billion over two years.
“If we cannot follow this first path,” he said, referring to his proposed income tax hike on wealthier New Yorkers, “we will be forced onto a much more damaging path of last resort — one where we have to use the only tools at the city’s disposal: raising property taxes and raiding our reserves.”
“The second path is painful,” he added. “We will continue to work with Albany to avoid it.”

Still, the prospect of a property tax rate increase — which New Yorkers have not seen since Michael R. Bloomberg was mayor — did antagonize others, including the city comptroller, Mark D. Levine, and the Council speaker, Julie Menin, who also holds sway in the final city budget.
Ms. Menin, a Democrat, said in a statement that she opposed the property tax proposal, but did not recommend a wealth tax increase.
“At a time when New Yorkers are already grappling with an affordability crisis, dipping into rainy day reserves and proposing significant property tax increases should not be on the table whatsoever,” she said. “The Council believes there are additional areas of savings and revenue that deserve careful scrutiny before increasing the burden on small property owners and neighborhood small businesses.”
The Queens borough president, Donovan Richards, another Democrat, called raising property taxes “a nonstarter.”
“In this new era, Queens homeowners desperately need our city to reform its already broken property tax system — one that sees Black and brown homeowners in middle-class communities paying more than brownstone owners in the city’s most affluent neighborhoods,” Mr. Richards added.
New York City’s property tax system is both byzantine and opaque, making it difficult to assess the impact of Mr. Mamdani’s proposed increase.
The mayor is proposing raising the citywide rate across the four property tax classes — which range from Class 1, small homes, to Class 4, including offices and hotels — to 13.45 percent, from the current 12.28 percent.
The Citizens Budget Commission, a nonpartisan think tank, said the suggested rate increase would amount to a property tax increase of about $700 a year for a typical owner of a one-, two- or three-family home.

Is that really so bad?
