What a bullshit misleading and intentionally inflamatory title. The city council wants to give everyone in city goverment a raise, namely themselves. Mamdani would just be one of many to get the raise if it were passed. He has nothing to do with asking for, advocating for it, or even any sign currently that he would approve it as mayor. And even if he did agree to it, 100k is not a massive amount of money in NYC, and the city council getting a 16% raise for the first time in 10 years after record breaking inflation isn’t crazy either. This title is intentionally phrased to imply corruption on Mandani’s part when the actual story has barely anything to do with him.
