Mamdani Finally Supports ID

Whamdani says you need an ID to enter his taxpayer -funded grocery stores.

How are you going to keep people from taking advantage of that, uh, you know, that?deal basically and is there going to be a limit on the number of items that someone can take that are discounted at that level from that essential basket?

So RFP makes very clear that this is a program for New Yorkers to be able to put food on the table, not a program for people to be able to make a quick buck through reselling.I'm going to pass it over to our EDC head, Jay Pak.How are we going to prevent that?

Yes, if you look at our RFP for the operator, we are looking to make sure that we target New Yorkers, whether it be at sort of a library card, and also we manage who's buying that is focused on everyday New Yorkers.So we are mindful of that.And so we're going to make sure that we have all the things in place to make sure that that does not happen.

So you need ID to prove that you're a New Yorker so you can get the groceries, but you don't need an ID to vote.
