  • Will Mamdani's city-run grocery stores work?
    Apr 17 2026

    Last weekend, during his 100-day address, Mayor Zohran Mamdani finally shared new details on one of his signature campaign promises: city-run grocery stores. The first location is expected to open next year, with additional stores planned across the city. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza, and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan break down how these city-run stores would operate and what it could mean for New Yorkers navigating high grocery prices.

    Meanwhile, Gov. Kathy Hochul's new tax proposal could help Mamdani close part of the city's budget shortfall. The initiative introduces New York state's first "pied-à-terre" tax on luxury second homes. The tax would apply to one-to three-family homes, condos, and co-ops valued at $5 million or more, owned by people whose primary residence is outside the five boroughs.

  • Mamdani vs. City Council: The budget dance turns tense
    Apr 3 2026

    This week, early tensions emerged between Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin after the Council released its response to the administration's plan to close a $5.4 billion budget shortfall. The Council says it found $6 billion in savings and efficiencies and has blasted ideas like ending free Sunday meter parking or a property tax hike.

    Meanwhile, Mamdani says the city is facing a fiscal crisis and has pushed for higher taxes on wealthy earners and corporations, while warning the Council's proposal relies on unstable revenue and would result in a cut to crucial services. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross is joined by political reporters Kelly Mena and Dan Rivoli to dig into the budget battle.

    Also this week, a new Siena poll showed Republican Bruce Blakeman narrowing the gap slightly in the race for governor, even as he faces a setback from the state's campaign finance board. The "Off Topic" team looks at Gov. Kathy Hochul's reelection bid and the challenges ahead.
