"Speaker Menin's proposals for alleged cost saving are bogus. Speaker Menin is aligning with the billionaires, while reneging on her commitment to working families."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council leaders are engaged in a contentious budget process that may harm New Yorkers. Council Speaker Julie Menin presented a 60-page analysis of Mamdani's spending plan, suggesting ways to address a $5.4 billion budget gap.

Mamdani criticized the plan for failing to tackle structural imbalances and for not proposing tax increases on the wealthy, while supporters of Mamdani accused Menin of aligning with wealthy interests.
