Mayor Adams padded the city payroll with 293 “special assistants” during his first full fiscal year in office — a more than 20% increase over his predecessor Bill de Blasio, The Post has learned.

The bloated band of vaguely titled aides, accountable only to Adams, comprised roughly one-third of the Mayor’s Office staff during the yearly period ending June 30 and cost taxpayers $24.3 million, according to payroll records.

Sounds like the mafia are still in control. We’ll get you elected but we get a 20% increase in no show jobs.

Well, “Tish” still hasn’t investigated the Uber Thieves Chirlane McCray and Warren Wilhelm Jr. aka “Bill” DeBlasio. They stole a Billion from the New York Sucker Taxpayers for Chirlane’s “Mental Health Initiative...”

The St Paul mayor in Minnesota Melvin Carter hired many friends at $100,000+ then said there was no money for July 4th celebrations. He did this since 2018.
It only started up again in 2023.
He is in office till 2026...
Meanwhile Minneapolis next door has not had fireworks for 3 years. Both cities run by democrats.

As I’ve said before, Adams is nothing but racist commie libtard scum accelerating the final decline of NYC. He is a nothingburger, utterly unqualified and eager to employ his homies on the already strained NYC taxpayers’ dime.
