Brad Lander is the very definition of an – Latest News
As the metropolis comptroller, Brad Lander should absolutely know that fellow Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani can’t presumably make good on his dear guarantees. And if he tries, he would possibly bankrupt the metropolis.
So will Lander lastly be straight with New Yorkers and warn them of the risks Mamdani poses?
Ha. During the main, the weaselly Lander stored his lips sealed about Mamdani’s “free” every part — about how a lot it will truly price, the proven fact that a mayor isn’t doubtless capable of raise taxes enough to pay for all of it and the fiscal and financial disasters that may comply with if he did.
Surely Lander knew Mamdani’s “free-stuff” marketing campaign was joke; if he didn’t, he doesn’t should be comptroller, not to mention mayor.
Yet Lander stood arm-in-arm along with his Working Families Party comrade, and even cross-endorsed him. Even as he ran towards him in the main.
It’s the very definition of a weasel.
Lander may’ve informed the fact about Mamdani’s guarantees:
Free buses, like free lunches, would nonetheless must be paid for. If funding is short, fewer buses will run.
Oh, and count on many of the buses to show into fetid cellular homeless shelters as they did in different cities.

Lander, by the method, didn’t simply keep silent about Mamdani’s fiscal lunacy; he additionally refused to call out his socialist buddy’s blatant antisemitism, regardless that the comptroller claims to be a proud Jew.
We’re not relying on Lander to spill the beans now about his spend-happy pal’s fiscal recklessness, particularly since he could also be maneuvering for a post in a potential Mamdani administration.
More doubtless he’ll keep radio silent.
But right here’s the excellent news: Lander leaves workplace at 12 months’s finish; if New Yorkers are fortunate, they’ll by no means hear something from him again.
