Zo’s busting the budget.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural, record-breaking nearly $126 billion budget passed late Tuesday — growing city spending by more than $10 billion from last year despite his past dire warnings about the Big Apple’s financial situation.
The under-the-wire vote by the City Council came just hours before a Wednesday deadline and after frantic last-minute attempts to drum up votes for a spending deal that disappointed lefties and moderates alike.
The budget, which includes no significant cuts, ballooned from last year’s roughly $116 billion spending plan, for an approximate 8.5% increase. It passed 45-6, largely on party lines.
And while the democratic socialist mayor managed to balance the budget, City Comptroller Mark Levine noted that he only did so by using $6.1 billion in one-time tricks and short-term savings.
“This agreement gets the city through an exceptionally difficult year, but it does not resolve the structural challenges ahead,” Levine said.
“With large out-year gaps, limited reserves and significant economic uncertainty, next year’s budget could be even more difficult.”

I hope it gets WAY worse for NUC!!
OWN it idiots!!!!!!!
NYC 🤦♂️
Agreed. One of the best ways to ultimately get rid of bad government and policy is to strictly enforce it.
“democratic socialist”
Here is this newer term again this time the NYP, the MSM is applying this to all of the commie nutcase lefties, even heard it on a couple conservative podcasts.
Well that balanced budget didn’t last long.
That’s their plan. Destroy everything with a big smile.
Maybe some more punitive taxes and no bid contracts will help. Combine that with sharia chanting five times a day and their utopia is sure to encourage productive constituents.
In other words, DAZIs.
Not my problem, I don’t vote idiotic
Just tax the rich. Anyone making more than $10k per year.
Not a problem. Jihadists from around the world can fund or defund individuals or events in the Big Apple. ISLAMamdani is a conquering hero. NYC has toppled.
“It passed 45-6, largely on party lines.”
Tells you all you need to know................
You could just tell that this was going to happen.
Don’t expect President Trump to bail out New York. There’s a reason why his home town is now West Palm Beach, FL.
No bailout!
and how much money is the state going to give them?
Of course some 40% of state voters live in NYC so the tail sort of wags the dog here
