NY City Mayor Mamdani sues City Council to block $10K payments for teacher aides

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday sued the City Council to block its new bill that will give teacher aides a one-time $10,000 payment that he warns could set a dangerous precedent.

The Council passed the bill last month with a veto-proof majority, and it lapsed into law Wednesday without the mayor's veto, which council members would likely have overridden, according to the City Reporter.
