Let the rebellion begin.
Leaders of New York City’s “Forgotten Borough” — and most conservative enclave — are re-introducing stalled legislation for Staten Island to secede from what they fear will become the People’s Republic of Mamdani.
The Democratic Socialist “could not be further out of sync with the values of communities on Staten Island, and I’d argue that this time around Democrats won’t want to stop [the borough’s secession] because it would make it even less likely [NYC] ever elects a Republican mayor again,” said state Sen. Andrew Lanza, who told The Post he plans to “put the foot to the pedal” on the plan in January.
Lanza (R-Staten Island) has been been pushing his secession bill since 2008, and it’s seen little traction.
But the rest of the Big Apple has swung so far left
