Edward Lang, one of the January 6 capitol rioters that was pardoned by President Trump, is suing New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani over his plan to tax neighborhoods in NYC. Lang claims that Mamdani's plan to shift the city's tax burden to "richer and whiter" neighborhoods is racially targeted and is promoting a dangerous and unjust agenda that puts white people in second-class. Lang suggests that race and demographics should not serve as a motivating factor in determining tax burdens, which is one of his motivating factors for the lawsuit. Lang hopes his case and complaint prohibits the adoption or enforcement of any racially characterized tax scheme.
