As usual, thoughtful and incredibly well researched… M not fighting for “his Speaker” has certainly come back to haunt him and his flip-flop on mayoral control and a selecting a drab school chancellor has lost teachers and parents. If Hochel is not generous and his budget woes lead to drastic cuts the media will trash him … a very interesting two months ahead … he could be a savior or watch the city blame him for all the ills… it’s not the SDA elected he needs the power brokers, maybe a negative term, they still run the city
Mamdani's super powers (much like Trump's) are transferrable to candidates who actually have a shot at winning and are good candidates. Lindsey Boylan picked the wrong opponent. Carl Wilson is an extremely good candidate. Carl was always going to be hard to beat especially since Erik Bottcher received like 94% of the City Council District 3 vote 6 months ago. I suspect the goal was the keep out the others. Zohran can see the votes from the election he won. Zohran knew Lindsey would likely lose. I think the pundit class wants to make it a story but the truth is no one cares that much.
Great article. Love the flow, and each point along the way is well argued.
