The mayor being his usual sleazy scummy true self.

How long until his tenure ends?

>On Tuesday, EDC’s executive committee voted to modify the 2017 agreement so that instead of having to spend the $15 million to improve the pier and install new passenger boarding bridges, Ports America is required only to spend $120,000, primarily to install WiFi in the terminal.

EDC shouldn't exist. Why are we funneling city money to a non-city agency "non profit" and allowing them to manage the funds for MASSIVE developments?

1062 days ……

Because McKinsey said so

Not soon enough. But until then, the circus must go on.

Is the title accurate if they're pulling the money from the Brooklyn terminal and committing it to Manhattan instead?

The next mayor after Adams: oh look, another grifter career politician

Seriously tho, after the guy switched from republican to democrat and did absolutely nothing but fail upwards how the fuck did he get voted in???? Why are New York voters so against doing a 10 minute google search about the person they’re voting for…

After trying to steal 920k I’m amazed he’s still in office

Yes. Eric Adams the Brooklyn Betrayer

“Instead, Ports America is newly committing to spend $15 million on constructing improvements at Manhattan’s Pier 90.” I don’t see what the issue is. All this fake outrage.

RemindMe! 1062 days

He literally switched partys 22 years ago.

Right after his first failed attempt at entering politics. The timing on that is just incredible

Might even end up in NJ who knows?

They destroyed Community Boards which once held that power. Young voters have no idea how quickly they destroyed the power of community.

EDCs are the governing body, not the mayor, not the commissioners. The young need to wake up and take the power back before it’s 100% gone!

Community boards never spoke for the community. They speak for a very small subset of older, more conservative, folks (usually white, usually car owners) who vote in each other and do nothing but try to stop younger people from changing communities in even the smallest ways. They are one of the worst things the city could have thought up to speak for communities. Make them elected positions or dissolve them already.

Gee I wonder why people would be mad that they abandoned a project in Brooklyn for one in Manhattan.

NY’s thinking the next democrat they elect will be any different.

When was this?

Google it bro it was like 3-4 months into him taking office

Against my better judgement, I googled “Eric Adams 920k” and absolutely nothing comes up except this post. People out here upvoting this dumbass just making stuff up because Eric Adams sucks.

Closest thing I could find was Gotham Gazette talking about that number being what he was eligible for in public matching funds for his campaign, which has nothing to do with what you said.

My mistake, I did the math wrong I thought it said 240k a year but it says 210k a year. He tried to hire his brother as security but it was shutdown and instead he had to hire him for 1$ a year. 210X4=840k and not 240X4=920k

Also your first thought after one google search was “I’m gonna go complain”? Not let me try a different wording? I love New York City

How could anyone have possibly guessed that’s what you were referring to? Someone asked for a source and you said “no, google it bro” with zero information that could lead to a result

I’m talking about mayor adams stealing money…it literally popped up when I googled mayor Adam stealing. Alongside his charity which didn’t give any money to Brooklynites.

Maybe we should stop electing Republican-lite.
