NEW YORK \u2014 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced he will officially decline an 18% pay raise passed by the City Council, maintaining his current annual salary of $258,750. The sweeping legislative measure\u2014marking the first salary adjustment for NYC elected officials in a decade\u2014boosts council member salaries to $175,500 and would have bumped the mayoral salary to $305,800. <\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t knocked on anyone\u2019s door in New York City and they\u2019ve said their concern is that the mayor makes too little,\u201d Mamdani told reporters when explaining his decision. While critics and political opponents have dismissed the move as a performative gesture from the Democratic Socialist leader, supporters have praised the financial restraint amid ongoing urban fiscal challenges. <\/p>\n
