Mayor Mamdani Budget

In his February 2026 budget proposal, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is funding four FDNY chief diversity inclusion officer positions, including three civilian roles costing over

(including overtime) and one uniformed officer, as part of a broader, multi-million dollar, citywide investment in equity offices

  • FDNY Positions: The plan funds three civilian chief diversity inclusion officer positions (roughly $531,000 including overtime) and one uniformed chief diversity inclusion officer (over $118,000).

  • Context: This initiative is part of a larger $127 billion budget proposal that prioritizes diversity and equity programs while simultaneously reducing the NYPD's budget and cancelling plans to hire 5,000 new officers.

  • Administration Focus: Mayor Mamdani, who took office in January 2026, has emphasized reshaping city agency leadership, including appointing Lillian Bonsignore as FDNY Commissioner.
The move to fund these roles has drawn attention, particularly as it coincides with significant proposed cuts to NYPD staffing.
 
As of February 2026, controversy has emerged regarding comments from an advisor to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani suggesting a ban on pet dogs based on interpretations of Islamic law. In response, federal legislation, the Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act, has been proposed to prevent federal funds from going to localities that ban pet dog ownership.

Really? You’re buying into inane nonsense perpetuated by a racist moron in Florida? https://newrepublic.com/post/206611/republican-representative-fine-muslims-dogs
 
Okey-dokey, fine with me if you want to cherry pick comments. That’s how things are so messed up in this country; spinning misinformation.

“Lmao at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they’re doing something. It’s obviously a joke,” Kiswani wrotelater without mentioning Fine. “I don’t care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is shitting everywhere and you’re not cleaning it.” Another post from Kiswani made clear it was a reference to people upset by the amount of dog shit left sitting on top of piles of frozen snow throughout the city.“
