by 1 Comment

Now that we’ve gotten the snide quotes out of the way, it is time to reconciliate. The people have spoken, and the unquestionable majority have voted for Mamdani.

DONOVAN Richards gave his thumbs up to the OneLIC Plan this week, with some stipulations, the oddest of which is a request for a new hospital in Long Island City.
