Earlier today, my wife testified briefly at a NYC Council hearing on #MayorMamdani's proposal to tax pied-à-terre's in New York City.

...and, apparently, made it onto Fox News...
@altbot ?
My wife's brief appearance on Fox News, in a clip in which she testified in support of the NYC Pied-à-Terre tax, has garnered her first Fox Fan Voicemail!
Dude had to dig a little, as Fox doesn't yet provide the full-service on-air doxing information its viewers would like.
He (obviously) got her phone number correct (but declined to provide his own...or his name, for that matter). However, his age estimate fell short by three years.
I am of the opinion that my wife looks younger than her years...
...it occurs to me that I should try to identify this caller, as he seems to believe our shares in our co-op are worth an order of magnitude more than they would currently fetch on the open market.
Is he willing to buy?
Inwood, ninety years after my grandparents moved here and forty years after my wife and I did, is considered by some to be an up-and-coming Manhattan neighborhood.
Maybe he wants to jump on the gentrification bandwagon?
For the audio-averse, here is a transcript of the voicemail:
"Well, I don't know about your lactation consultation, but I saw you on Fox News reading your little prepared statement. How you hope that the tax could be implemented before you go home to your five and a half million dollar unit. It's hard to believe. This I can tell you're 74 years old, and it's hard to believe that you could have gotten to be this stupid in just 74 years."
