Good for Mayor Eric Adams for suing the Campaign Finance Board over its outrageous, undemocratic bid to rig the mayoral race against him.
Even if he doesn’t receive timely justice, he’s at least helping expose a system that needs drastic reform or even complete elimination.
Hizzoner wants the board to fork over $5 million in matching funds he argues it has unfairly denied him.
The board’s “conduct is unconstitutional and the height of arbitrary and capricious governmental action,” Adams’ filing states. “The agency must be held to account for its pernicious conduct.”
Damn straight.
The board first began withholding funds from Adams after the Biden Justice Department leveled politically motivated criminal charges against him — charges that were later dropped.

Heck, on top of treating the mayor as guilty until he proves himself innocent, the board is playing judge, jury and executioner — since denying matching funds is tantamount to a death sentence for most campaigns.
Alas, this typifies how this power-mad body has long acted: In the 2013 Democratic primary, it paved the way for Bill de Blasio’s victory by denying funds to his politically closest rival, John Liu.
After 9/11, it halted campaigning in advance of the rescheduled primary, which may have been been key to Mike Bloomberg’s eventual triumph.
This year, it also slapped Andrew Cuomo with $1.3 million in fines for technical gripes with his website.

NYC has RCV for mayorals for a reason.
If Gotham is so blue, why does Deep State have to steal its elections...?
Pretty sorry when Adams is their one best chance and they don’t seem to be smart enough to know it....
why does Deep State have to steal its elections...?
Cause Trotsky and Lenin cannot trust each other.
Cause common bank robbers cannot trust each other.
