Description

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is already working on his major initiative: free childcare for all children between six weeks and five years old. He believes this will boost the citys economy, as parents will be able to return to work. The plan comes with a significant cost, and while Governor Kathy Hochul is willing to help, funding mechanisms are still being discussed. Mamdani met with business leaders to explore potential solutions. However, challenges remain, such as staffing, physical space, and eligibility criteria. Despite his official start in three weeks, Mamdani is committed to addressing these issues.
