Mamdani Says ‘We’re Just Following the Law’ on Requiring Two ID’s to Shovel Snow for NYC After Criticisms from Republicans Backing Voter ID Laws

MAMDANI: “Well, here in New York City, we follow the law and it‘s federal law to require certain forms of identification in order for someone to actually be paid for this kind of a job. And so that‘s what we‘re asking for. Two forms of identification. It‘s a long standing city program. It‘s a long standing city policy. And thanks to the hard work of dsny, they‘ve expanded their capacity for how many New Yorkers they can supervise at a time. Now up to 1800 per shift. And so these hardworking men and women who signed up over the course of the last few days and last few weeks, they‘ve joined the work that sanitation has been doing, and they‘re clearing crosswalks, bus stops, fire hydrants, helping our city get back on its feet.”
