Zohran Mamdani: “I can't imagine New York City without bodegas. They represent our hustle and entrepreneurial spirit.”

To do the Mayor's bidding, this Board then made a mockery of its statutory mandate, resorting to multiple manipulations of its own data to try to justify this irrational result.

We've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.

What we can do is continue with our approach citywide of looking for ways to cut costs and cut the regulations that so many bodegueros, as well as grocery store owners, have to jump through in order to do their work.

Their contributions to the health care, construction, and hospitality industries, among so many others, help drive our economic strength.
