New York City taxpayers could pay twice under Mamdani's grocery plan

A 'Mornings with Maria' panel weighs in as New York City officials propose tax breaks and subsidies to help grocers cope with taxpayer-funded grocery stores.

Taxpayers in New York City face double taxation under a government-run grocery store plan proposed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. 'Mornings with Maria' panelists discuss the proposal, warning it will destroy private grocers and force taxpayers to cover both the state-run stores and the subsidies needed to keep independent businesses afloat.
