市长广告被指用160万美元公款推五项投票提案批评者称违反公款不得助选规定
2026年10月24日刊出的报道指出，纽约州纽约市市长马姆达尼政府正以一笔160万美元的公款广告宣传攻势，推动11月3日选票上的五项提案，批评者称此举违反了市法关于公款不得用于支持或反对投票提案的规定。这五项提案由马姆达尼任命的15人宪章修订委员会选出，内容包括加快市政厅批准户外餐饮棚与街道安全项目等程序；市政府的宣传将其描述为打造“更快的政府”、削减繁文缛节。批评者、市议员乔安·阿里奥拉等人称，广告只讲好处、不提代价，实质是拿纳税人的钱为市长的政治议程买单；市政府方面则称宣传只是鼓励市民投票。市法明文禁止官员动用公款为投票提案助选或反助选，双方对“鼓励投票”与“影响投票结果”之间的界线各执一词。五项提案的最终命运，将由纽约选民在11月3日投票决定。
Mayor's $1.6 Million Publicly Funded Ads Promoting Five Ballot Proposals Draw Charges of Illegal Electioneering
A report published on October 24 said the administration of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, in New York, is spending $1.6 million in public funds on an advertising campaign promoting five proposals on the November 3 ballot, a move critics say violates city law barring the use of public funds to support or oppose ballot proposals. The five proposals were selected by a 15-member Charter Revision Commission appointed by the mayor and include streamlining city hall approvals for outdoor dining sheds and street-safety projects; the city's campaign describes them as building a "faster government" and cutting red tape. Critics, including Council Member Joann Ariola, say the ads tout only the benefits and not the costs — in effect using taxpayer money to fund the mayor's political agenda. The mayor's office says the campaign merely encourages residents to vote. City law expressly bars officials from spending public funds to advocate for or against ballot proposals, and the two sides dispute where "encouraging turnout" ends and "influencing the outcome" begins. New York voters will decide the five proposals on November 3.
