    and that one single person shouldn’t get to decide

    I doubt that he is bypassing any legislative process here. Hes just doing things that are legally within his power.

      Oh, I’m not saying he is doing anything outside of his powers, I’m just saying that legislating by executive order is not tactic that should be encouraged.

        Yeah executive orders are a stupid concept, but is it even the case here. I dont see anything about it in the article, it just says “Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday proposed to raise property tax rates in New York City by nearly 10 percent”. It just sounds like a proposal that is still undergoing evaluation, not an order.
