Hochul rejects the supermarket plan funded by Mamdani’s taxpayers at the Hampton event

Governor Kathy Hochul Rejected the plan of the candidate for the town hall of the town hall of New York, the candidate of the town hall of New York, Zohran Mamdani for the supermarkets financed by the taxpayers, saying to a crowd of Hamptons, “I prefer the free business”, according to the New York Post.

Hochul delivered the line on Saturday during a commercial breakfast organized by the billionaire supermarket magnate John Catsimatidis, attracting the applause of the participants.

Catsimatidis, whose channels Grisdedes and Agostino could be threatened by the proposal, then congratulated Hochul’s comments, saying to the post: “These types of grocery stores simply do not work.”

The decline adds to the assembly of democratic resistance to the Mamdani agenda, which criticism warns the private grocers and the burden of taxpayers.

“Slogan Snappy. Do not work, and Mamdani does not care if it is not the case,” said Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi, in an email at Fox News Digital.

“Governor Cuomo has proposed a plan that has been thought of helping those who suffer from food insecurity, and the answer is not Soviet style breads. Kansas City has just closed its Government Grocery store (and eliminated its free buses) after wasting millions of dollars from taxpayers.”

Cuomo castigated Mamdani in a PublishWriting: “When you have rich parents on which to withdraw, the results do not matter. As said @zohrankmamdani, That’s life. It is not a governing philosophy. It is an excuse for failure. It’s time to build. This requires real accessibility policies. Let’s do it. “

Kansas City’s reference points to the recent closure of the city Sun Fresh Marketwhich received around $ 18 million in public funds over a decade but was in the grip of a flight, empty shelves and heavy losses. Its stop was followed by cuts on the city’s free bus program.

Mamdani, a self -proclaimed democratic socialist who represents Queens in the State Assembly, proposed to open five municipal supermarkets, one in each district, at a expected cost of $ 60 million. He maintains that stores would fight against the increase in food prices and widen access to affordable grocery store. Critics counter-the-counter plan could close private competitors, limit the choice of consumers and stick New Yorkers with unmanageable costs.

The pioneer of the mayor is also under fire for accommodation. Earlier this month, Fox News Digital reported that Mamdani faces an ethical complaint wondering if he had not benefited from a stabilized rent apartment while winning nearly $ 150,000 as a legislator.

Cuomo jumped on the issue, offering the “Zohran law” to prevent high employees from taking subsidized units. Mamdani said he had moved into the apartment when he won $ 47,000 and did not know that he had been stabilized to the rent, while his campaign rejected criticism as politically motivated.

Hochul, a centrist democrat who has not approved in the town hall race, is the last establishment figure to target the Mamdani platform. Cuomo, on the other hand, continues to start a counterweight to what he calls the progressive ideology not tested.
