Actually, it says "essential reporting" can be inaccessible to some audiences.

NYT took out part of the quote which read: "The reality is NYers don't get their news the way they did 20 yrs ago. The fourth estate is critical to the health of democracy & holding power to account."

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mamdani: Whenever I talk about raising taxes on the wealthiest, people will respond with what is generally a myth of capital flight. But the flight that has actually happened: 200,000 Black New Yorkers have left this city in the last few decades. There are so many people who will still tell you they’re New Yorkers, but now they live in South Carolina, they live in other parts of the country because they couldn’t afford to live in this city. And you can feel that in neighborhoods across this city, you can feel that in classrooms across the city. And so for me, it’s always ask yourself: How has this city left people behind, and how can we actually start to show up?

Manhattan alone has 5x as many high-finance workers as Dallas, Miami and Palm Beach combined:

I think we can retire the notion that NYC’s future is at risk because it’s bad for business or that companies, particularly finance, are leaving.

Despite tax flight claims ➡️New York Millionaire Class Grows, Outpacing Florida and Texas

"Texas and Florida’s declined, despite boasting about their ability to poach the country’s top earners and businesses from deep-blue bastions."

[Monica Klein @MonicaCKlein]

To be clear - New York's millionaire population is strong and growing. The number of millionaires more than DOUBLED since 2010, and grew after last two tax hikes.

Tax flight remains a myth.

[Citizens Budget Commission @cbcny]

Good news, New York: the State’s share of nation's millionaires ticked ⬆️ in 2023, 1,900 more than the year before. The one-year win is good, but NYS still way down from 2010. Dig into the data:

This is really reinforcing the “Zohran Mamdani hired a bunch of straight guy staffers” reporting.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

We're done kicking the can down the road. Here's how we're fixing the city-owned section of the BQE.

[Anna Bahr @anna_bahr]

“It’s incredible that this is available,” Ms. Tan-Torres said of Parents’ Night Out. “It makes us feel like it’s actually possible to have a big family in New York City.”

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

And this is just the beginning.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mamdani: The importance of a tax on a secondary home worth more than $5 million dollars is that it raises half a billion dollars - and that is money that makes our streets safer, it makes our schools stronger, it makes this city the world class city that we all love and know as our home. And I am looking forward to all of the improvements that we can deliver with that revenue.

[Nick Garber @nick_garber]

State Comptroller @TomDiNapoli heaps praise on @NYCMayor for mostly ending his predecessors' practice of underbudgeting — a notable aspect of the Mamdani approach to the budget that's flown a little under the radar

[Monica Klein @MonicaCKlein]

Correct. @ZohranKMamdani up 13 points with NYC voters in latest Siena poll.

Mayor went from +32 in June to +45 today.

[Michael Barbaro @mikiebarb]

NYC polling experts can correct me but these approval ratings are relatively high no?

The latest Siena poll showed the mayor’s favorability rating at 47%, up slightly from a June poll. Among likely New York City voters, his favorability rating is 69% https://t.co/hD2O6MgExF

[Monica Klein @MonicaCKlein]

@ZohranKMamdani Rating agency KBRA credits @ZohranKMamdani's improved budget transparency, pension funding metrics, and city's role as international business & cultural center for outlook revision upward to stable:

[Monica Klein @MonicaCKlein]

New --> Credit ratings agency KBRA lifts New York City's outlook to stable.

KBRA says @ZohranKMamdani's budget "meaningfully improved"

[Monica Klein @MonicaCKlein]

Latest Siena: Mamdani beats Trump with New Yorkers statewide making under $50K by 31 points — and with New Yorkers making over $100K by 38 points.

Both NYers making <50k and >100K have a favorable view of the Mayor.

[Joe Calvello @the_vello]

⬆️ NEW: A Siena poll out this morning shows 69% of New Yorkers have a favorable view of Mayor Mamdani — up 11 points since June.⬆️

[Anna Bahr @anna_bahr]

lol @ZohranKMamdani jumped 13 points among NYC voters in new Siena poll out this morning

"There are a few things more certain here today than death, taxes and Randy Mastro filing a lawsuit against this administration," NYC Mayor Mamdani says when asked about the new lawsuit filed by Mastro on behalf of NYC homeowners over the rollout of the pied-à-terre tax

Free 2-K Spots Lift a $26,000 Burden for These N.Y.C. Families: https://t.co/K4yBwsijMb

.@NYCMayor: "The question is not about whether this will cost money — it's a question of who will pay. Today we have families spending between $20k - $40k a year to raise their child in the nation's most expensive city."

[Emma G. Fitzsimmons @emmagf]

A new report by the Center for New York City Affairs found that a child care system for all children under 5 could cost about $9 billion a year, more than Mamdani's estimate of $6 billion a year: https://t.co/43H13b79X9
