For as deep as the insanity and corruption in Democrats run, it’s a rare occurrence that we actually see them paint themselves into a corner—somehow, no matter how vile they are, they’re almost always able to squeak on out of whatever trouble they’ve gotten themselves into…but I’m thinking that lucky streak has just come to a glorious end. According to a report from the New York Post, the New York City council, a 51-member governing board with 46 of those members being Democrats, attempted to quietly and speedily pass a fat personal pay raise earlier this month, just after the election of Zohran Mamdani. However, they ran into an issue when city law blocked them from voting on pay increase “during the post-election lame-duck period.” (Seems like they should have looked into that before they tried to scheme a substantial pay raise on the public’s back while routinely speaking out on the cost-of-living crisis and the unaffordability of the City in general.)
So, as the Post notes, they had to “scuttle” that plan, and wait for Zohran to be sworn in…which presents another problem, with no good outcome for the conniving council members. They’re forcing Zohran to either save face with the New Yorkers who just put him into Gracie Mansion and veto the bill (meaning they don’t get their raise), or, they get their raise, and Zohran betrays the people in an unforgivable way in his first official act as mayor. Either way, it’s not going to go in their favor. From the Post:
The hasty, confused pay push raised eyebrows among many insiders, who gossiped that the City Council was either trying to pull an end run around the incoming mayor or spare him an embarrassing early decision.

DemocRATs looking out for the little guy.
This is the least of NYC’s problems. At least this was done above the table. The really messy stuff is taking place under the table.
As always, all communist “comrades” are equal but a few are MORE equal than others and vote themselves the EXTRA LOOT they believe they deserve for being “the smartest commies in the room.”
Even though the insanity and corruption in Democrats runs deep, it’s a
rare occurrence to actually see them paint themselves into a corner........
Fun stuff.
LOL.
Observing NYC is like watching maggots squirm in rotting meat.
There is something about big cities that brings out the worst in people. At least many people.
Mamdani probably plans to add all the freeloading muslims in NYC to the city’s payroll ,LOL
Pretty illuminsting to watch. NOte: You do not need to sign imto FB to watch the video. Just click the x to close signin pop-up to get to the video. Volume is in the upper right hand corner
This is perhaps one of the most grammatically-awful sentences I've ever read.
Neither NYS nor NYC can print money.
Here’s hoping both are about to find that out the hard way.
Public Servants.
When do servants get to vote themselves a raise?
Bkmk
Isn’t Communism great.
No problem, just raise taxes.
Thank you for sharing.
I was mostly ignorant concerning the DSA radicals and this aligns/fits a few pieces of the puzzle.
That works.
Well done!
Mamdani is definitely going to look at how he can cut their pay in half after this shenanigan.
He might even cut his own pay in half to look good, he’s already megarich.
Later
