“$173 million deal to buy 17 buildings to use for affordable housing...”
Using taxpayer money to buy private property.
Do the math. That’s more than $10 million each.
Including kickbacks.
As for the “laziness and apathy of New York voters” who elected DeBlablah with only 22%, what about the surrender of the Republican Party, which repeatedly fails to support candidates in these cities where the majority is BEGGING for candidates to represent their interests?
They’re sitting out the elections because they’ve no one to vote for.
It’s a vicious circle. The state party won’t give funds for people who are bound to lose.
The problem started years ago when we were asleep and the city council was expanded, supposedly in the interests of diversity but really to swing it totally to the left.
Now we have 8-to-1 matching funds from the public trough for everyone who runs in a city election. 8-to-1. That’s why we had 17 people running for public advocate in February.
It’s insanity.
The whole city is dominated by the esquerdopatas.
