from The Lionel Show - WABC Radio · host 77 WABC Radio
Andrew Cuomo interviews former Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro to critique the fiscal leadership of New York City’s current mayor, Zohran Mandani. Mastro argues that the mayor committed a rookie mistake by manufacturing a budget crisis to justify tax increases, a strategy that has damaged the city's credit ratings and alienated the City Council. The discussion highlights a role reversal in local politics, where the traditionally high-spending Council is now acting as the primary guardian of fiscal responsibility against an executive they view as overreaching and divisive.
