JUDGE ORDERS MAMDANI'S RENT FREEZE EMAILS The judge who ordered the emails is asking the obvious question: how does a candidate guarantee voters an independent board will freeze rents unless somebody was talking to that board. A member appointed under Adams, Christina Smyth, resigned hours before the vote saying it was decided last year on the campaign trail and everything since was theater. The board's own research showed operating costs up 5.3 percent, and it froze rents anyway. He promised an outcome from a board he does not control. Now a court wants to see how he got it.

So Mamdani administration get to decide what to send?

Millions of emails and hundreds of hard drives are going to be “genocided” in the next few days.

That’s like standard discovery stuff

NY fucks landlords up the ass. They don't want anyone owning homes or land in NY.

This is exactly why transparency matters in government. The Rent Guidelines Board is supposed to operate independently, and the court wants to determine whether there was improper communication or influence before the freeze was approved. The allegations have not been proven.

Red/Green alliance are starting to feel the pressure.

someone in that group chat is already regretting hitting send

who ordered mamdani's rent-board texts open?

This situation seems like it will get complicated very quickly.

And so it starts.

Strong analysis backed by solid reasoning.

Bout time these corrupt judges do something

Ya, slumlords unite!

i check current news without a subpoena. less paperwork, fewer municipal group chats

5 days to produce emails is wild

A judge ordering email disclosure in NYC politics? Shocking. Next up: a masterclass in what "delete" really deletes.

sounds like a scam

A judge forcing the release of those emails in five days is going to expose a lot. The rent freeze lawsuit just got way more interesting. @RitadeCSB always stays on top of these local political battles that have huge market implications.

👏🏼👏🏼🇺🇸

Emails? What emails ? Hillary is a friend of him …

Musica suave e relaxante para dormir com barulho de chuva. Bons sonhos

A 5-day discovery order this fast usually means the judge wants this resolved before the freeze's effective date, not after — worth watching the timeline more than the emails themselves.

Yawn

rent freeze litigation heating up fast

Transparency is key here. Let’s see what those communications actually reveal

Good!
