After Singling out Ken Griffin in Tax Video, Mamdani Says He Hasn’t Replied Yet to His Meeting Invitation

EXCERPT:

MAMDANI: "We've reached out to make it clear that I'm willing to meet with any and all business leaders across the city. And I think that's important because, as the mayor of this city, I'm looking to ensure that I meet with anyone who is a part of this city's not just economy, but also our future. And what we've seen, whether it be Ken Griffin, whether it be Jamie Dimon, whether it be David Solomon, so many other business leaders across this city, is people who are creating jobs in the city. And even at their level of employment, whose workforce still face the pressures of an affordability crisis because, as you know, in New York City, you can be making six figures, and you're still going to blink when you realize you have to pay $20,000 a year for childcare for a single child in this city. And so, we are looking forward to partnering with anyone and anyone to deliver on a vision that will take care of everyone across these five boroughs."

COLLINS: "But you — so, have you heard back from him, or you have not?"

MAMDANI: "Not as yet. But I'm going to continue to have these meetings to make it clear what our vision actually is for the city."
