Mamdani Wants To Speed up NYC Government. He Could Tackle Cumbersome Agency Reports.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani seeks to streamline city government by addressing mandatory reports that create unnecessary burdens and duplicate disclosures. His Commission on Government Efficiency found these reporting requirements cost more than 125,000 staff hours annually. Further research showed laws passed since 2014 created roughly 8,300 obligations, with the Department of Education having the highest number of required reports (136).
