And when it comes to saving money, he can help New York City by cutting all benefits to illegal aliens, who shouldn't be receiving them anyway. This makes more sense than wasting $11.5 million on diversity and racial equity nonsense and also punishing residents with an outrageous 9.5% property tax.

"Even though his predecessor's plan was seen as a reach by many, the new mayor is still taking heat for not finding a solution to the NYPD's brain drain.
"The so-called "thin blue line" has been put on a diet by Mamdani, after he refused to fund Adams' end-of-term scheme to hire 5,000 new officers. A number of officials slammed Mamdani for it, including Adams, who called it "a serious mistake."
"Five thousand officers is not excess. It is necessary to stabilize the force, reduce crushing overtime, and ensure the health, safety, and well-being of every New Yorker," the former mayor said through spokesman Todd Shapiro.
"Adams' plan would have increased the NYPD headcount to 40,000, which was last seen during Rudy Giuliani's tenure as mayor, which ran from the start of 1994 until the end of 2001. However, Mamdani has bigger problems, like officers leaving the NYPD in droves. There are a little more than 34,000 officers on the beat, about 1,000 fewer than the budgeted headcount.
"My message is, right now, we need to keep our police officers in the department. We are losing 250 to 300 a month. That needs to change right away," Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry said."
