‘YOU BETRAYED…’: Journos grill Mamdani who ran on ‘AFFORDABILITY’ over 9.5% Property tax hike
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing a media firestorm for proposing a 9.5% property tax hike as part of his record $127 B budget plan—despite running on an affordability platform. Critics argue the tax could hit the middle class and working New Yorkers hardest if Albany won’t approve higher taxes on the wealthy. Journalists are demanding answers, questioning whether Mamdani has betrayed his campaign promises.
