Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration hasn’t bothered to study his city-run grocery store plan’s potential effect on local small businesses, his budget chief admitted Tuesday.   The revelation came during a City Council hearing when Sherif Soliman — the director of the Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget — was grilled on what studies the administration was conducting to see how nearby grocers would be impacted. “We are attuned to those issues,” Soliman said when pressed by Councilwoman Kamillah Hanks (D-Staten Island), as he dodged on specifics.
