“Mamdani backed away from his months-old threats to impose a nearly 10% property tax hike and drain the city’s reserves to help close a reputed $5.4 billion budget gap.”
CORROBORATED
Evidence from a TikTok source and a web search result confirm that Mayor Mamdani presented options to close a $5.4 billion budget gap, which included a property tax hike as a 'last resort'. The claim that he 'backed away' from these threats is consistent with the context of the budget unveiling and the search for alternative funding.
