CNN’s Kaitlan Collins:
“You announced what’s been described as a pied-à-terre tax on second homes of the city’s wealthiest. You put out an ad [about] the announcement that singled out the Citadel CEO Ken Griffin. I know that your office and that you’ve reached out to him. Have you heard back from Ken Griffin?”
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani:
“No. We’ve reached out to make it clear that I’m willing to meet with any and all business leaders across this city… 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 this city and even at their level of employment, whose workforce still face the pressures of an affordability crisis.”
Kaitlan Collins:
“So so have you heard back from him, or you have not?”
Mayor Mamdani:
“Not as yet, but I’m going to continue to have these meetings to make it clear what our vision actually is.”
