The head of an influential Big Apple business advocacy group warned that companies are already taking steps to relocate or move jobs elsewhere because of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s tax-hike crusade.
Steve Fulop, CEO of the Partnership for the City of New York, said many corporations are considering leaving or shifting their workforces to less costly states after it was revealed $900 billion asset manager Apollo Global Management is plotting a second US headquarters in the Sunbelt.
“In the last week, there have been several [major companies] in the Partnership that have said they’re going down the same road [as Apollo], exploring options in Florida and Texas,” Fulop said Sunday on 77 WABC Radio’s “Cats Roundtable.”
“Some of these [firms] … are major New York City brands that have been headquartered here for 100 years. The fact is – they’re leaving,” Fulop told host John Catsimatidis.
Fulop later declined to name the firms seriously weighing abandoning or de-emphasizing jobs in the Big Apple when contacted by The Post.
“I’m not going to get into specific names or speculate on who is down the road of leaving,” Fulop said. “It’s not appropriate to front-run a company announcement, especially when many of these firms have large employee bases in New York.

As of today, there are two ways a New York City mayor can be removed.
The New York governor is able to serve a NYC mayor with charges, after which said mayor would have a chance to defend themself – the governor would then decide personally whether to remove them.
The alternative is a bit more complicated.
The City Charter cites that a special committee can be assembled to remove a mayor: an inability committee.

Mami doesn’t have a clue what is happening. He is totally out of it. He should be waiting tables........
Redistribution of Wealth sounds like a swell idea — until you run out of other people’s money. Or until the other people move to another state.
Watch Jaime Diamond....if Chase leaves.....watch out! There will be a FLOOD leaving...forever.
Just get out.
Why? They elected him.
Does any politician realize that you can also balance a budget by cutting spending? I just typed in
"Are there any obvious programs in the NYC budget that could be cut or reduced to balance the budget"
to ChapGPT and got a list of over a dozen ways Mamdani could cut spending. Try it on your own AI engine.
I hope Katz’ Deli survives.
He’d fail there also. A good waiter needs a good memory and associative abilities. The little muzzie turd fits only in places where failure is a feature. Biden should have had him on his cabinet.
The dog finally sank his teeth, nice and firmly, into the tire.
“...many corporations are considering leaving or shifting their workforces to less costly states...”
The best option for businesses in NY is to keep the motor running.

Fixed it.
Cut spending ? The democrats never especially the communist part
......................”(Mamdammit) should be waiting tables........”
He’d screw up all the orders. Dishwasher or maybe GarbageMan would be better jobs for him.
Exalted People’s Leader Mamdani:
“No, I will not let your people go.”
Waiting for a parting of the garbage barges and thickly polluted water.
No, leave him alone. Let him do his thing. We can use New York, Minneapolis, Chicago and San Francisco as examples. No one cared when Jackson Mississippi didn’t have potable water, or New Orleans returned to its old ways (corruption in Louisiana is considered a feature, not a bug). But when New York has to be walled off from America, maybe folks will notice.
Chase has already moved over 12,000 employees to a ‘major’ city of under 300,000 people and is expanding facilities to accommodate another 4,000.
So soon to be 16,000 or so compared to about 24,000 in New York City. Wouldn’t be surprised for some of the top dogs there to start looking for ‘no income tax’ed desks here.
BREWING????
PLANS SHOULD BE ALMOST FINALIZED BY NOW
Tax hike crusade? Let’s be ecumenical here.
Tax hike jihad.
