FULL TITLE: Bill de Blasio’s wife can’t account for $850 million the NYC mayor gave her for mental health project
Far-left New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who won the approval of radical Democrats (and socialists) everywhere last month by vowing to wrest wealth from the “wrong hands” and redistribute it into the right ones, has hinted loudly that he intends to run for president in 2020. I would estimate that his chances of discovering a new planet in our solar system are better, but — hey — it’s his funeral.
Of course before he officially throws his hat in the ring, he’s going to need to tie up a few loose ends at home, most notably the whereabouts of the $850 million in taxpayer money he entrusted to this wife, Chirlane McCray, to fund the mental health program she champions.
“In the three years it has been running,” writes the Daily Mail, “organizers at ThriveNYC have largely failed to keep records of the initiative’s achievements — and data that has [sic] been collected shows it lagging well behind targets.”
Equally troubling, “the data also showed almost 190,000 Narcan kits were handed out to hospital [sic] where opioid use is common, but there is no evidence of how many were used.”
And now there’s that pesky missing $850 million. Actually, the organization’s record-keeping is so faulty that when asked by Politico to provide a line-item budget, it provided two. “One, from from City Hall, showed $594 million in spending, but a second, from the Independent Budget Office, showed $816 million.”
As though would-be candidate de Blaios’s problems with the public trust and his ability to handle large sums of money weren’t massive enough, earlier this week he announced he was pulling the plug on his failed Renewal school program, which set the city back another $773 million.
Some of that money should have gone to Ocasio Cortez.
Talk about emergency funding.
Oh, I’m sure this is innocent. A lot of wives ‘just aren’t that good’ with money...
NYers are really stupid people.

Well said.
FRiends, before you reply defending the outstate NY’ers or the “good people here” in NYC, remember Cuomo,Jerrold Nadler,Al Sharpton,Hillary,Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner (elected to office in NY),and so many others you will be embarrassed to have us list here.
To be fair to your viewpoint:.
Here’s one for your side: the Trump family, God bless them.
And where is Barr and the Southern District of New York on this one?
“The mentally ill should never be trusted with that much money...”
Or democrats...but they overlap.
850 million would cure my mental problems. Send a check.
Meth or her girlfriends. She’s a lesbian.
Yep, she’s repulsive and being a lesbian doesn’t help he looks.
Not surprising. “ Mental Health” is a scam
I thought she spent it on meth too. Probably selling it to gangs for big bucks.
Just sayin'.
The left never runs out of scams for more freezer money.
A communist that can’t account for extremely large amounts of money, a huge pile of money, how odd!
She spent it on her Communist heroes in Cuba and a lot of her lesbian lovers ... the rest? Some off-shore account somewhere.
She has the face of a dried up cat poop with a bit of dew from sitting out all night
$850 million and she is still crazy.
Man that is a lot of psychoactive drugs.
She needs to return it to the taxpayers then. She and her dumbo husband are not capable of handling other peoples money.
Yep.
It’s amazing how depraved the Left is. De Blasio is living with a lesbian and thinks nothing of it. How Progressive of him.
850 million, she has nothing to worry about the feds in NY are all tied up doing all they can to find something on Trump.
Ahhh, isn’t it just too bad when Marxist RATs get exposed and then, hopefully, indicted? Many, many more to come, God willing.
