New York City Mayor Mamdani is revolutionizing government efficiency by cutting wasteful contracts with companies like McKinsey, saving millions without compromising essential services. Will this progressive approach inspire a national movement against inefficient outsourcing?

McKinsey has contracted with the New York City government several times, including between 2014-17 when it was paid $27.5 million to reduce violence at the jail complex on Rikers Island—only to report “bogus” numbers as the problem worsened—and in 2022 when it was paid $1.6 million to research garbage disposal.

They weren't doing shit. It's simple stealing that's being cut off.
