Lefty mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wants to spend $1. 1 billion on a new department overseeing mental health calls instead of the NYPD — a proposal panned as “another pie in the sky idea” by law enforcement experts Tuesday. The democratic socialist state assemblyman from Queens unveiled a 17-page public safety plan that did not call to hire more police officers, as other mayoral candidates have proposed.
