99 and a half will do and more

It’s good to be the Mayor!

Eric Adams’ office made out the best among the Big Apple’s more than two dozen major city agencies, scoring a 25 percent bump in his recently unveiled $99.7 billion city budget proposal, a Post analysis found.

Adams has requested $204 million for his 1,400-strong executive operation, up from the $163 million de Blasio allotted to his office during his final year running the city.

“One of the easy criticisms of the de Blasio administration was growing the Mayor’s Office budget,” said Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island). “Everyone can see litter in the street and understand the need for more sanitation workers, so what’s the plainly obvious reason for this?”

Most of the $41 million boost is dedicated to a major expansion of the division of the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services, which reviews spending agreements and tracks vendor performance.

Adams’ budget would increase MOCS’s budget from $26.5 million to $59 million and add another 47 employees, expanding its headcount from 197 to 244 employees.

Incredible, nearly $100B to run (or rather, not run) the City. It boggles the mind. How much is just waste, graft and stupidity? Most of it, I'd guess. And how much do we spend on "services" that duplicate both State and Federal services that are already available?

And why does the Mayor's office have 1,400 people!!! It should be about 100 people at most.

You could intelligently cut the budget in half while actually making the City better. But ahhhh, what's the use of complaining. It's Prog Hell from here to eternity.

"Mayor’s Office of Contract Services"
Translation: Monopolized government control.
Yeah just like the Mayor’s Office of Media, Film and Entertainment where you can't work, get tax breaks, cant get permits, must agree to not say certain things especially criticism of Democrat politicians.
You must also use other "Mayor List" Woke members from catering to Ports Pottys.
Don't agree? You Badmouthed AOC, Letitia James, Fag Mayor, DA, Chuck Schumer or some poor black innocent inner city youth who just shot 4 people ?
Then no tax breaks, permits, press credentials to operate in this city for you !!

You gotta play by communist rules!
This is a communist tool invented by Bloomberg the Mayors office now uses to gag the media.

I know first hand.
NBC put me and others in thumbscrews for not clapping and bowing to Al Gore on the set of Saturday Night Live. No worries, leaving that cesspool of gays and liberals was a blessing. More like escaping some kind of hell. We couldn't take the shit anymore, the insane 9 pages of confidentiality of disclosure papers and agreements shoved in our face come late August contract renewal were the last straw.
FU mayors office, Journalists, Producers, Writers, Predators, Weirdo's, Rapists and Perverts.
That's "News" TV, Film, Theatre and Music making in New York City, Los Angeles and Canada !!
This new "Mayor’s Office of Contract Services" is a Trojan getting a foot in the door for the same shit. A disaster for the small people, Independent contractors and public.

I voted religiously since turning 18 to 24. I'm over 35 years old now.

I don't give a crap about politics or voting since 2011 and I never will.

Politics is like WWf or some low form of entertainment at this point.

Rising crime, lack of housing for the middle class, high taxes on the middle class, failed schools, Litter, homeless shelter failed policy, failed bail reform policy, bike Nazis, illegal immigration and anger over COVID mandates are some issues Eric gets a big F grade. Also the failure of the his Administration to live up to his campaign pledges has turned NYC in a shit hole city.
