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.

I never implied that...? And this isn't theory, these are news and opinion articles. I'm tired of your sealioning though, bye!
