This decision has upset victims and their families, including the widow of a cab driver who was robbed and stabbed by Linen in the past, who expressed shock and disapproval over his appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani defended his hires by emphasizing the advisers&#8217; &#8220;fluency&#8221; in city policies and politics and argued that their varied experiences and insights would be valuable in shaping the city&#8217;s future. though, other controversial figures on the transition team, such as Tamika Mallory and Zakiyah Shaakir-Ansari, have also raised concerns due to their contentious pasts and political views. <\/p>\n<p>The piece portrays Mamdani&#8217;s appointments as indicative of a radical and far-left approach to governance, suggesting it might potentially be alarming to some New Yorkers who expected a more moderate leadership style. The article closes wiht a warning that the new governance may face a turbulent path ahead.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Are you crazy?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s a question a number of New Yorkers will be asking many, many times over the next four years.
