New NYC Council speaker hints at guardrails to collaboration with Mamdani

yaaas Julie Menin is literally setting boundaries with Mayor Mamdani and I am SO here for it ! it's about time someone stood up for what's right and not afraid to speak truth to power . i love that she's focused on where the city can "save money" and avoid "tit for tat" politics - it shows she's got her priorities straight . gotta keep an eye on this historic moment and how it plays out, fingers crossed for a more collaborative gov

I gotta say, this whole situation with Julie Menin and Mayor Zohran Mamdani has me intrigued . I mean, on one hand, it's amazing to see a Jewish speaker take the reins of the NYC Council, especially after years of having men from other backgrounds hold those positions. It's like, finally, some much-needed representation and a fresh perspective!

But at the same time, you've got this tension between Menin and Mamdani, where they're trying to navigate their differences and find common ground without stepping on each other's toes . I'm all for bridging gaps and finding ways to work together, but it's gotta be done in a way that respects everyone's boundaries and priorities.

I love how Menin is prioritizing the Council's own initiatives within its authority, though . It's like, she's not trying to undermine Mamdani or play politics; she just wants to get stuff done for New Yorkers! And hey, if that means having some disagreements along the way, so be it – at least they're having those conversations and pushing each other to think critically.

The thing is, this whole interfaith leadership thing has gotta be more than just a buzzword . It's gotta mean actual, tangible actions and results that benefit everyone in the city . So, fingers crossed that Menin and Mamdani can find some common ground and make some real progress!
