Wealthy New Yorkers are going to be making a Heastie retreat. State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie vowed to help Zohran Mamdani raise taxes on Big Apple millionaires as he officially endorsed the socialist mayoral frontrunner Wednesday. The powerful Bronx Democrat — when asked whether he’d wield his influence in Albany to deliver Mamdani’s proposals of free buses and child care, as well as hiking taxes on the rich — made clear he’s all-in on the firebrand’s progressive agenda.
