@EricDinowitzNYC Billions of dollars taken from agency budgets would force the City to cut services.
English
Mislabeling “savings” as “cuts” isn’t just inaccurate—it undermines real progress in budget negotiations.
We should be working toward solutions, not confusion.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Speaker Julie Menin’s preliminary budget proposal would result in slashing billions of dollars from agency budgets, which would force the City to cut services. Double counting previously identified savings, overestimating revenues, and exaggerating debt service savings does nothing to close a deficit. This $6 billion proposal asks Albany for just one action – class size mandate relief. It refuses to address the deeper structural imbalance between the City and the State, or to increase taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and most profitable corporations. It effectively ensures this structural deficit will continue indefinitely. Any proposal that claims we can close this gap without significant new revenue is unrealistic.

@ideaspromax Imran Khan is popular in London’s Muslim community, and all politicians court his support for votes.

@JAllen_NYC I want people to stop calling Zohran Mamdani a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or anything like that. If they bring up religion, others will respond with religion too. It’s hurtful to call him part of the Muslim Brotherhood or some kind of Ayatollah. This is wrong.
English
Mamdani supporters have to understand that governing this city is one negotiation with that powers that be after another. He has to get his hands dirty and compromise.
English
@JAllen_NYC New York City’s mayor system is broken. We hype them on TV, popularity, and promises—but don’t give them real power... Unacceptable. The mayor should have authority like a president over the city, not be a puppet now everyone realizes they can’t actually get anything done!
English
@PTIK804 Yes it is called negotiation tactics, but they can do similar things to him and his priorities. Municipal government for you.

Pushback from council members is starting.
Council Member Kevin C. Riley@CMKevinCRiley
Disappointed to see the narrative around “cuts” being pushed. In truth, the Council is fighting to maintain and strengthen critical services across the city. Narratives like this are extremely dangerous to that process!
English
@CMKevinCRiley Tax the rich. I’ve read Juliana Menin and the council’s budget. It’s unrealistic and dead on arrival.

@ShariaBarbie69 @InnaVernikov @NYCMayor The two can play this game. You call it the Muslim Brotherhood; we call it Jewish Zionists.
English
@PTIK804 @InnaVernikov @NYCMayor That has absolutely nothing to do with what i just posted. Try harder.
English
Because @NYCMayor could not care less about working or middle class New Yorkers, all he cares about is TAX aka PUNISH THE RICH.
Minority Leader David Carr@CMDMCarr
You would think that @NYCCouncil finding a way to close a budget “gap” without cutting critical services or punishing working and middle class families with crippling tax hikes would be a good thing. I guess not in Mamdani’s New York

🚨EXCLUSIVE: NYC council president @JulieMenin is blocking @ZohranKMamdani's tax/budget agenda while having huge undisclosed ownership stakes in real estate, according to documents reviewed by @LeverNews.
Menin is pushing safety net cuts instead of tax hikes that hit her empire.
English
@Matt_Fischetti Zohran Mamdani will never approve a budget from Juliana Menin or the City Council. He’ll keep vetoing it. And if they try to play games, he’ll use his leverage—stopping the funding for each council member who goes against his primary budget.
English
Speaker Menin in her response says council has "identified a roughly $6 billion funding shortfall, which includes $1.1 billion Council priorities that were funded last year but excluded from the administration's preliminary budget...
English
@JohnMChell @SpeakerMenin @ZohranKMamdani @DemSocialists @GovKathyHochul @NYCCouncil @nypost Juliana Menin can’t even communicate properly—I saw her interview. She stops and pauses too much. She won’t be able to win the mayoral election in 2029; she can’t be a candidate
English
Like I posted weeks ago @SpeakerMenin is the goalie against @ZohranKMamdani and his @DemSocialists base. Now I will add the following prediction - She will primary the mayor in 2029 and march to victory. @GovKathyHochul @NYCCouncil @nypost
New York City Council@NYCCouncil
It may be April Fools’ Day, but the Council wasn't kidding when we said NO CUTS to any services or staff. We continue to expect and demand additional revenue from Albany, which our plan makes clear. Despite these untrue accusations, the Council stands ready to negotiate a budget that delivers and maintains critical services for New Yorkers.
English
@nicolegelinas Zohran Mamdani fights for a budget that uplifts all New Yorkers. nyc won’t let Juliana Menin and the council block that vision.
English
@HamiltonCain NYC back Zohran Mamdani’s budget vision—Juliana Menin and the council’s approach is a step backward.
English
Hizzoner goes on offense.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
New York City Council just released a budget proposal. Here's what New Yorkers should know:
English
Zohran Mamdani is on the right track with this budget. Juliana Menin and the council are out of step with what New York needs.
Sally Goldenberg@SallyGold
In calling out city budget tricks, including booking about 1/2 a bil in unspent $$ at the end of every year, @JulieMenin today will propose closing the budget gap w/ no tax increases, no reserve raiding and no cuts. It's highly unlikely that can or will happen.
English
@CMJenGutierrez We stand with Zohran Mamdani. We don't trust Juliana Menin and the council members.
English
Slashing services? Absolutely not. I’ve seen what that looks like under the last administration. This isn’t that; there are no cuts to services. There is waste, and we should be real about it.

This is deeply misleading and potentially harmful! I thought these four years were going to be different.

@InnaVernikov @NYCMayor The DSA is the mayor of NYC. The Muslim Brotherhood is the security of the DSA.

It’s striking how often certain voices fixate on Speaker Menin’s family economic status when speaking about her… yet remain notably silent when it comes to the mayor’s family wealth.
I can’t quite put my finger on what explains the difference in treatment.
We can have substantive discussions and disagreements about fiscal policy, but reducing those disagreements to selectively applied tropes about wealth doesn’t elevate the conversation…it diminishes it.
Chris Sommerfeldt@C_Sommerfeldt
The heads of NYC's Democratic Socialists of America chapter, who back Mamdani's push for tax hikes this year, are out with statements blasting Menin's plan. (Menin's plan isn't actually proposing cuts, tho the efficacy of some of its savings measures can certainly be debated).
