FDNY Commissioner Robert S. Tucker, who resigned in the wake of Zohran Mamdani's election victory, has revealed that he hasn't received a single communication from Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's camp since announcing his resignation. The revelation comes as a surprise, given the close ties between the FDNY and City Hall. This development may raise questions about how well-insulated the mayor's office is, particularly when it comes to communication with key stakeholders like the Fire Department.

THE FACT THAT MAYOR-ELECT ZOHران MAMDANI'S CAMP HAVEN'T BEEN IN TOUCH WITH COMMISSIONER TUCKER SINCE HE QUIT IS CRAZY! 
YOU'D THINK THEY'D AT LEAST HAVE A MEET TO DISCUSS TRANSITION PLANS OR SOMETHING. IT SEEMS LIKE THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS KIND OF...SILO. 
I GET THAT COMMISSIONER TUCKER WAS UPSET ABOUT MAMDANI WINNING, BUT STILL, YOU'D THINK THERE WOULD BE SOME BACK-UP PLAN IN PLACE. NOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO START WONDERING IF THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS REALLY WORKING AS WELL AS THEY SAY IT IS.

I'm not surprised at all that the new FDNY commissioner hasn't heard from Zohran Mamdani's team since he quit. It just goes to show how quickly things can get turned around in politics 
. I mean, one day you're out, the next you're expected to work with the new guy? It's like they didn't exactly have a smooth exit plan 
. And now this is coming out - that he hasn't gotten any communication from them at all? That's just weird. You'd think there would be some kind of handover or briefing, even if it's just a courtesy thing. But I guess we'll see how that plays out. This whole situation just highlights the challenges of transition periods in city politics 
. The question now is what does this say about how well-insulated the mayor's office is? Or should I say, isn't insulated

So the new mayor's camp hasn't even bothered to reach out to the FDNY after the commissioner just quit? That's wild! I mean, I get that politics can be super stressful and whatnot, but it seems like they're not taking his resignation seriously at all. The FDNY is a huge part of this city, and their communication with City Hall should be top priority. It's like, how are they gonna work together if they can't even be bothered to talk after a major shakeup like this? I'm worried about the whole collaboration thing now... it could lead to some real problems down the line!

FDNY Commissioner Robert S Tucker resigning after Zohran Mamdani's win is one thing but not getting any contact from the Mayor-elect's team post-resignation?? 
what even is that?!?! 
I mean I know they're all busy and stuff but come on!! 
the FDNY and City Hall are like, super connected don't you think? 
this raises so many questions about how well-insulated the mayor's office is especially when it comes to comms with key players like the Fire Department 
I'm low-key freaking out over here!!

I'm not surprised at all that the FDNY Commissioner didn't get a peep from the Mayor-elect's camp after quitting. Like, who does that? 
It's not exactly a normal part of the transition process where you're supposed to stay in touch and whatnot.But seriously, it is kinda fishy. I mean, we all know how cozy the FDNY and City Hall can get, so it seems like they'd want to keep things flowing for the sake of public safety and all that jazz. And now that Tucker's outta there, you'd think they'd wanna make sure they're on the same page with Mamdani's team.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see how this plays out. Maybe they were all just too busy having a friendly drink together at the mayor's farewell party
(just kidding, that never happens).idk why this even matters anymore lol FDNY comish just ghosted by the new mayor's camp already? sounds like politics 101 - dont rock the boat until you gotta lol maybe they're trying to send a message about transparency or something idk i think its more likely they just lost track of each other in all the chaos. its also weird that he didnt say anything before resigning, like what wasnt said between them? still not sure how well-insulated the mayor's office is but at this point its anyone's guess
I mean, I'm not surprised but also kinda shocked that Commissioner Tucker hasn't heard from the new mayor's team after his resignation. You'd think they'd want to keep him in the loop, especially since the FDNY is such a huge part of the city's infrastructure. It seems like there might be some communication breakdowns already? I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing or anything, but as a parent, I would worry if my kid's school wasn't keeping me in the loop about important stuff - and this is basically the mayor's office! Maybe they're just busy with the transition and don't have time to reach out yet? But still, it's an interesting development...I'm not sure what's more surprising, the fact that Commissioner Tucker hasn't received a single communication from Mayor-elect Mamdani's camp since his resignation or the fact that this information wasn't reported sooner . It does raise some eyebrows about the level of insulation between City Hall and key stakeholders like the FDNY, which is concerning given the symbiotic relationship between the two entities.
As the dynamics between the mayor's office and department heads like Commissioner Tucker are scrutinized, it will be interesting to see how the Mamdani administration navigates this newly created power vacuum
. It may also prompt a reevaluation of communication channels and protocols in place, ensuring that key stakeholders remain informed and aligned with the mayor's vision.
This development highlights the importance of maintaining open lines of communication between government agencies and their leaders
. While Commissioner Tucker's silence may not be unprecedented, it does underscore the need for transparency and accountability in governance, particularly during times of transition

. I mean, a guy resigns as commissioner of the FDNY, and suddenly he doesn't get a single call from the new mayor? That's just weird. I get that politics can be messy, but it seems like a pretty big oversight for the mayor's team to not keep tabs on their old commissioner after the dust settles.
I'm not saying it's necessarily a scandal or anything, but it does raise some red flags about how well-insulated the mayor's office is. I mean, you'd think that with all the high-stakes decision-making going on in City Hall, they'd at least be keeping an eye on their former commissioner to make sure he's not causing any trouble.
It's just too easy to imagine some shady deal being made behind closed doors
. And let's be real, this is a guy who's been in the public eye for years - you'd think he'd get a call or two from the mayor's office, even if it was just to say hello and see how he's doing after his resignation. But nope, crickets 
. Not exactly what I'd call transparency

But nope, crickets . Not exactly what I'd call transparency I'm kinda surprised by this development, you know? I mean, you'd think that with Zohran Mamdani's election win, there would be some sort of communication going on between him and the FDNY. I remember back in the day when our mayor used to have a weekly dinner meeting with the police commissioner - it was all about building trust and whatnot. Nowadays, it feels like everyone's too busy being busy.It's not just the lack of communication that's got me thinking, though. It's the fact that FDNY Commissioner Tucker resigned in the first place because of Mamdani's election. I mean, wasn't there some sort of deal between them? I don't know, it feels like things have changed a lot since...well, since forever.
I'm not trying to be negative or anything, but this just makes me wonder how well-insulated the mayor's office really is. Are they getting their information from social media or something?
like I'm kinda shocked he hasn't been in touch ... I mean, you'd think they'd at least reach out after a big shakeup like that, especially since FDNY and city hall are supposed to be pretty tight? doesn't sound like the mayor's team is totally on top of things. idk what the story behind Tucker's departure was, but if there was some beef between him and Zohran, you'd think they'd at least have a friendly chat about it before he bails out . either way, gotta wonder how this affects the whole fire department thing...

FDNY Commissioner just resigned and no one from Zohran's camp even reaches out. what's going on here? wasn't he close with the mayor-elect or wut? i mean, i get it, politicians can be weird like that, but still, gotta wonder how much of a team player they are. also, i'm all for a clean transition and all, but no comms from the mayor's side? red flags if you ask me . guess we'll just have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out
. guess we'll just have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out I'm thinking this is weird... I mean, you'd think there'd be some kind of tension or drama between the new mayor and the FDNY, but apparently not. It's actually kinda refreshing that they're not making a big deal about it. But at the same time, it does make me wonder if there's something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. Like, are they just keeping to themselves?
It's also got me thinking about how much communication is supposed to be happening between City Hall and the different departments. I mean, you'd think the mayor would want to stay in touch with everyone, but apparently that's not the case here.
Maybe it's a sign that things are gonna change around there?
