Mamdani’s utters a laughable call for ‘fiscal responsibility’

See more of our coverage in your search results.

Feel free to chuckle at the irony of Mayor Zohran Mamdani joining city Comptroller Mark Levine in calling for a City Charter amendment to ensure adequate Rainy Day Fund cash for the next emergency.

This is John Dillinger calling for better bank insurance.

Mamdani just sought to raid more than $3.25 billion from the city’s main reserves, after all.

And the city should have a much heftier Rainy Day Fund; it’s now just $2 billion, far short of the $15 billion the Citizens Budget Commission deems prudent, given Gotham’s $125 billion spending plan.

But the larger threat to the city’s long-term fiscal health is Mamdani’s drive to fund his socialist dreams.
