Meera Joshi, former Deputy Mayor for Operations, urged voters in New York to inquire about the leadership teams of mayoral candidates. She highlighted the need for a competent and experienced team due to the lack of prior city government experience for the Democratic primary winner. Joshi's resignation from City Hall reflected concerns about the mayor's ties with President Trump. The impact of her departure, along with other civil servants, is felt in City Hall's current decisions regarding infrastructure and housing projects, indicating a gap in effective leadership.
"What does it take to run this miraculous beast of a city? A deep bench of meritorious, mission-driven managers - people who combine operational grit, strategic vision, and moral clarity," she wrote.
"The Democratic primary winner has no prior city government experience so he will have to fill that void through smart leadership picks," wrote Joshi.
Joshi, who resigned from City Hall amid concerns about the Hizzoner's independence from President Trump, urged New Yorkers to ask mayoral contenders, 'Who's your bench?'.
The absence of her and the deputy mayors who quit with her is felt every time City Hall under current First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro kills a busway or pedestrian path or affordable housing project that Joshi and company worked on for years.
