Mamdani quietly funnels extra $6.2M in taxpayer dollars to office slammed as ‘propaganda arm'
[NYP] Mayor Zohran Mamdani quietly earmarked another $6.2 million for his "mass engagement" office that critics claim is merely a taxpayer-funded political propaganda arm for City Hall.

Hizzoner snuck in an additional $1.1 million in undefined spending for the Mayor’s Office of Mass Engagement in his mid-year budget modification released Thursday.

That brings the total budget for the activist-packed outreach office to a whopping $6.3 million for this fiscal year, which ends June 30, the newly released documents show.

A City Hall spokeswoman said the added funds would cover new text messaging and other outreach tools, claiming they were necessary as "the Office of Mass Engagement connects directly with New Yorkers during critical moments in their lives."

The socialist mayor’s pet project originally had an approved $5.2 million budget for expenses, not including salaries for staffers, many of whom are far-left activists.

The updated budget documents also added another $1.7 million to the office’s piggy bank for each of the three following years, for a total $6.2 million in extra spending.
