Impunity City
Now that his disastrous mayoral campaign is
over and 30% of registered voters chose Eric Adams to be the Democrat
nominee for Mayor, NYC Comptroller Scott Stringer has gone right back to
full-time work and dad gum it he is not going to take it anymore.
Stringer brought his stump back out and
announced that Mayor de Blasio has held onto the city’s emergency powers
and control of budget spending way too long, so he’s decided to take
the Blaz
to court to get them rescinded so he can manage the city finances again for the remaining 5 months of his term.
But for all the grand gesturing and
authoritative shit talking, Stringer is just frontin’ like a punk,
establishing once again why he got easily destroyed in the primary.
Because the wimp allowed the Blaz to enact those emergency orders to
control spending on a day one and did not say a peep about it knowing
full well the mayor’s history of profligate wasteful and political
patronage derived spending throughout his abominable two terms, enabling
the Blaz to embark on a chronic gambler spending spree while exploiting
his new authority throughout the pandemic.
What’s worse about Scotty’s sudden display of
balls is that he hasn’t even literally got in the Blaz’s face about his
chronic abuse of the emergency powe, which he revealed quite
pathetically during a brief questioning from a
NY Post reporter
who mockingly asked Stringer why it’s taking him so long to use his
position as the city’s accountant to reclaim the reins of the city
budget again from the unaccountable mayor’s idle hands.
Comptroller Stringer: “We have to come
back time and time again to demand accountability and a court action is a
last resort, common sense is a first resort, and we haven’t seen that
in this administration and we are coming back with a court action
because we have to get to the bottom of this”
NY Post: “have you actually spoken to him
and (snicker) asked him if he (Blaz) was going to restore the actual
safeguards that didn’t exist before?
Comptroller Stringer: “We gave him documentation and sent him no less than 4 letters and we can provide them”
NY Post: “But have you personally (chortle) spoken to him and asked him?
Comptroller Stringer: “I don’t have to speak to him to ask him by letter to do the right thing.”
NY Post: “But you haven’t spoken to him”
Comptroller Stringer: “No, I haven’t spoken to him personally”
Holy calamafuck, the NYC Comptroller never
once confronted the NYC Mayor face to face and eye to eye about his
repeated malfeasant emergency power grabs, which he reinstated 100
FUCKING TIMES while spending 8 billion dollars on lousy contracts and
financing dubious services that weren’t necessarily essential to the
city during the “perfect storm of COVID19”. (Like open streets and bike
boulevards)
For the last 16 months since The Blaz
mimicked Governor Cuomo by assigning himself emergency powers, Stringer
took pussy to a new level, letting the Blaz make his government
appointed job irrelevant and sat there and watched him piss away the
city coffers from the start of the pandemic and even this year in our
alleged recovery now that andemic restrictions have been rescinded by
the state and national levels and in the five boroughs by the mayor
himself.

City Comptroller Scott Stringer attempted to block an $890 million contract
for the takeover of a school bus operator once owned by a major donor
to Mayor Bill de Blasio — only to have City Hall quietly override his
veto, The Post has learned.
Stringer’s office tried to nix the deal after the Department of
Education refused to provide key details about the takeover of Reliant
Transportation and its 1,000 school buses, including the total purchase
price or the startup costs for the new city-run nonprofit — NYC School
Bus Umbrella Services — set to operate the fleet.
The DOE also refused to provide Stringer with any details about its
independent appraisal of Reliant’s financial health, which found the
company has just $16.6 million in assets while carrying $18.6 million in
pension liabilities.
"The DOE has now chosen to skirt accountability once again and push
through this nearly $1 billion contract without addressing numerous
issues raised by my office, including the lack of details about
long-term costs to New Yorkers,” said Stringer in a statement.
“Students, teachers, parents, and school staff deserve far better fiscal
responsibility and transparency from the DOE.”
It’s the latest entry in the months-long stonewall by the de
Blasio administration — which once promised to be the most transparent
in history — in response to questions from the press and government
watchdogs about the deal.
Officials have repeatedly claimed they are unable to provide the
price tag for the Reliant buyout and other key details because they have
not yet finalized the takeover.

Stringer was born and raised in a NYCHA apartment house and will be on the public dole till he dies. What a waste of a “public servant”.
I never though I could say “you can’t make this stuff up” so many times. It’s a daily exercise for a few years now.
The Western world needs a crash course in authoritarianism and totalitarianism. Most people’s understanding of oppressive regimes stops at 1945.
What a wonderful switcheroo!
The Peanut Gallery here always look FIRST to mock, attack and retreat when I point to certain historic findings—like how the The Roman Empire dragged on for a staggering 250 years before it finally collapsed—much like the lethally dangerous, ‘Cause & Effect’ sideshows foisted on society by failed bureaucrats Bill de Blasio AND Scott Stringer (‘String-along Stringer’) both of whom painfully illustrate only the reasons behind why governments fail in total decay that largely explain the history of the Roman Empire’s malingering delay for centuries before it finally collapsed in the first place—firmly buttressed by political GRAFT and arrogant power grabs with other people’s hard earned lives, youth (that has been robbed), time and money. The ancient playbook never changes its mission of failed, but empowered leadership.
Hence, if anyone listening out there still wonders why New York City & New York State are dirtier than a gas station toilet, one needn’t look any further than the crippling, gridlocking, monstrously self-serving actions by these two terminal road blocks to government accountability, when they refuse to even meet in a face-to-face meeting to unburden the majority of the soon to be exiled taxpayers to rapidly escape this totally rusted, archaic behemoth of never-ending bureaucracy that has continually benefited the highest levels of an untouchable, intensely incompetent, government elitist minority of failed politicians who reinforce profligate, wanton waste and mismanagement at the obscene and insane expense of an entire, languishing constituency that has intentionally been left to rot—until extinction prevails—exactly like the Fall of the Roman Empire itself—and, the public be damned!

Historically, politicians have never paid a price for being wrong—only the societies in which they were integral in destroying—to present day effect!
