“I commend you for your dedication and the benefit you have brought to our City as you conclude your tenure on the Mayor’s Fund Board of Advisors,” Mamdani’s letter stated.
Donated their time
Board members served with out compensation and used their connections to business and cultural establishments.

The signers embody many households who misplaced family members that day.
Some say his attendance would quantity to desecration, however the mayor insists he’ll attend.
