Claim 1: “New York passes Mamdani's pied-a-terre tax.”

The evidence shows that Governor Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani are 'proposing' the tax, not that it has already 'passed'. One source explicitly mentions it is a 'proposed tax' and another states that its materialization 'will depend on state action, City Council approval'.
