WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani faced backlash for saying that identification was needed for an emergency snow shoveler program as a winter storm hit the city.<\/p>\n
Over the weekend, Mamdani requested New Yorkers sign up to become emergency snow shovelers, but paperwork would be required.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor those who want to do more to help your neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler,\u201d Mamdani said during a press release briefing on Saturday. <\/p>\n
\u201cJust show up at your local sanitation garage with your paperwork which is accessible online.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are no less than five forms of ID to bring if New Yorkers want to shovel snow, according to the New York Post.<\/a><\/p>\n The New York Sanitation Department requests applicants bring two forms of IDs, plus copies and a social security card.<\/p>\n House Republicans mocked Mamdani on X following his remarks.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s get this straight: in Zohran Mamdani\u2019s socialist utopia, it takes 2 forms of ID to SHOVEL SNOW, but no ID to vote,\u201d House Republicans wrote on X. \u201cMake it make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n Comedian Jimmy Failla also mocked Mamdani.<\/p>\n
