"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.
The sad part is the morons there will elect democraps just as bad.
On their way out. Ok
Not up until now?
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.”
