How Corey Johnson and Bill de Blasio spent your money like drunken sailors on their way out
NY Post ^ | July 5, 2021 | Carl Campanile

The Independence Day celebration started early for many New York activists and groups seeking taxpayer funding — thanks to the seasoned pork stuffed into the record-spending, $98.7 billion city budget just approved by Mayor Bill de Blasio and the City Council.

KEYWORDS:
OMG, how can any city survive being ruled by absolutely out of their mind irresponsible libtards? NYC took a huge hit from the COVID shutdown. They get a huge windfall of federal money, and the best use they can think for it is to fund disgusting things such as abortion, LBQT groups of every stripe (the outgoing City Council Speak Corey Johnson is gay), Drag Queen Story Hour (I kid you not!), etc.

"Another $350,000 combined was earmarked to the Abortion Access Fund and Planned Parenthood... Johnson’s fund also directed funding to LGBT groups including $50,000 to CUNY’s student LGBTQ Leadership program, $50,000 to LaGuardia Community College’s LGBTQ Public History Project, $150,000 to the New Pride Center’s Dignity for All project, $100,000 to the LGBT Network and $100,000 for for services and advocacy LGBT Elders."

Not to be outdone by the idiot Corey Johnson, Brad Lander, running for Comptroller, steered $13,000 combined to Make the Road and VOCAL-NY, both affiliates of the Working Families Party. Leaders of all three groups endorsed his candidacy. Those groups are illegal criminal invader advocacy groups.

Another libtard Dimmocommie, Jimmy Van Bramer and his fellow Dimmocommie Antonio Reynoso steered $22,500 combined to immigrants’ rights advocacy group Make the Road, whose political arm backed both candidates in their respective races for borough president. According to Council budget documents, Make the Road will receive more than $500,000 in discretionary funds.

While there’s no money to boost police manpower, the council earmarked $250,000 to increase public awareness of the Civil Complaint Review Board.

$31,500 in grants for “Drag Queen Story Hour” — where the aforementioned read to kids in libraries and school districts.

Spending on “community development” programs doubled from $13.1 million to $27.5 million. Among the programs seeing big increases include those serving transgender and LGBTQ residents.

Oh, and let's not forget separate centers for studies on Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans and Haitians received $1 million apiece. Very important to the quality of life of most NYers, right?

This is how Dimmocommies spend our money. Can anyone see why NYC is just about under the waves by now, with such irresponsible and utterly out of their mind "leadership"?

There is one way and places like Chicago will also benefit - it's called YOUR tax dollars.

DeBlasio has already thrown billions at his lesbian wife——his (cough) soul mate.

Upon arrival DeB gave his wife charge of hundreds of millions of tax dollars flowing into the Mayor’s Fund for NY...then came the three other mayor-controlled funds that she was given.

The odd couple are walking away w/ billions of tax dollars.

Even as the epidemic was at its strongest, and there was no Federal bailout money yet, and they cut budgets for the NYPD and the Sanitation Department, leading to the abandonment of many programs, they made sure to continue funding LGBTQ programs, like Story Hour and other LGBTQ community services.

My city councilman was very proud to tell us that he was overjoyed to be able to obtain the money for those programs because “they mean a great deal to me.”

So your councilman is very likely gay, like most of the City Council, and overjoyed to have other people fund his perversion. Great. As I said, NYC is virtually under the waves already. G-d is not pleased when people live steeped in perversity and show a profound lack of any moral fiber in any aspect of their lives. Doing so is equivalent to turning their backs on G-d and then dropping their pants. He will not forget their collective insult. Seems to me that now, living in NYC is its own punishment. Living in a libtard-led abomination like NYC is like being on a bus with all its windows and doors locked, driven by a grinning maniac at over 100 mph.
