Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman aims to use a little-known clause in the state Constitution to try squashing NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s taxpayer-funded, $70 million city-owned grocery store scheme. The “Gift and Loan Clause” prohibits municipalities from giving and lending public money or property to private entities. “This unconstitutional subsidy poses a direct threat to long-standing, tax-paying businesses, risking widespread closures and job losses within the community,” Blakeman told The Post. Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman said he wants to use a little-known clause in the state Constitution to block NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s taxpayer-funded, $70 million city-owned grocery store plan. Stefano Giovannini for NY Post The 150-year-old law — which was created to stop local governments from diverting public funds to private railroad companies and other favored individuals and entities — also mandates municipal funds be used for a public purpose or benefit.
