🔮 Mayor Zohran Mamdani should be investigated for using $1.6 million in taxpayer funds to push New Yorkers to back ballot proposals with messaging that plastered his face on buses and kiosks, a city lawmaker said.
🔮 Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman warned New York voters that congestion pricing could come to a “community near you” if Gov. Kathy Hochul wins reelection Blakeman, the Nassau County executive, vowed to kill the program outright if he beats the Democratic incumbent in the Nov. 3 election as he claimed Hochul could have a menu of new taxes she could unleash if she secures another term. “Doesn’t matter whether it’s New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Binghamton or any town in between,” Blakeman claimed while speaking on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan Tuesday.
🔮 Mayor Zohran Mamdani stumped with Gov. Kathy Hochul for the first time Friday — hoping to give the moderate Democrat a boost with his lefty base in New York City less than two weeks before Election Day.
🔮 That means about 200 carriage drivers will see their livelihoods – and entire industry – vanish from the city without a trace in less than two years.
🔮 Mayor Zohran Mamdani has signed just one bill into law in 10 months since taking office — leaving critics to wonder if the millennial mayor is more interested in social media stardom than his daily government duties.
🔮 Griffin John was let out of prison early after he was sentenced to 48 months behind bars for the attack on wife Shauntai Nickerson — and he begged a judge to lift a restraining order against him so he could “see his son grow up” in the coastal town of Newport, docs obtained by The Post said.
🔮 “Real Housewives” star Carole Radziwill insisted Monday that she’s a hard-nosed parking enforcer in her SoHo neighborhood — even as she’s racked up thousands of dollars in tickets herself.
🔮 Blakeman, the Nassau County executive, also hammered Hochul for her infamous 2024 claim that “young black kids in the Bronx” don’t know what a computer is — insisting youngsters in the borough “know more about a computer” than the governor will “ever know.”
🔮 Democrat Cait Conley finally condemned Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s anti-Israel rhetoric — but only after Rep. Mike Lawler backed her into a corner for repeatedly dodging the question.
🔮 Mayor Zohran Mamdani plans to ask private New York City garage and parking lot owners to block ICE agents from using their property, The Post has learned.
