      I’m not sure how trustworthy that article is, since it also claims Cuomo comfortably won Brooklyn but the results for Brooklyn were Mamdani 48% to Cuomo 31%. Property taxes do not require state congress and the NYC budget is also separate from the state treasury. It does mention 3 dissenting state congressmen out of 150, the party breakdown being 83D 22R 45O.

          WJS:

          The good news: Mr. Mamdani’s proposed tax hikes—along with such costly goals as fare-free buses, universal childcare and $70 billion in added borrowing to finance affordable housing—couldn’t be implemented without Albany’s cooperation. The bad news: Much of the Democrat-dominated state Legislature broadly embraces the same left-wing economic principles of Mr. Mamdani’s program.

          Obvious Bias aside for a moment, it doesn’t really explain why and it also sort of defeats the initial point you were making by implying Mamandi has overwhelming support by the state congress. I’m not going to sit here and “read more theory” that you keep pulling out when you can’t even say in your own words why Mamdani needs permission from Albany or the governor.

        The article doesn’t say that. This is what it says:

        …parts of southeast Brooklyn and Queens where Cuomo won comfortably. [My emphasis.]

        You’re not doing the bare minimum to arrive at an accurate picture of things. This makes this discussion a waste of time.
