Mamdani's grandiose plan of spending an additional 11 billion dollars to New York City's already grossly inflated budget is running into a brush with reality.
He can't fund it without raising taxes, and he'd prefer that other people do the tax raisin' and get other people's money to pay for it.

So, in searching for other people's money to fund this insane spending spree, he demanded that the New York governor increase everyone's taxes to pay it, which is going as well as can be expected: IJR: Tax War Erupts Between Mamdani And Hochul.
With this budget, NYC will spend $127 Billion for the government of a single city.
The government for the entire State of Michigan by contrast, has a Budget of $88.1 Billion, even after the budget has been bloated over 50% by Governor Whitmer's increases over the course of her governorship.
Of course, the proposed speeding is chock-full of DEI and make-work jobs for his supporters, while defunding the police, even as the budget grows by 11 Billion. Fox News: Mamdani plan pours millions into ‘racial equity’ offices and six-figure diversity jobs, cuts 5,000 NYPD jobs
New Yorkers are about to get what they wanted, good and hard.
