De Blasio and Chirlane McCray Waste $Billions

From Moonbattery:
Bill de Blasio was a great deal for NYC leftists because as with Bill & Hillary Clinton, they received two moonbats for the price of one. In addition to the smirking communist de Blasio, they also got a co-mayor in his wife, politically active lesbian poet of color Chirlane McCray. However, this was not such a great deal for taxpayers:
Bill de Blasio’s wife Chirlane McCray cannot explain where $850million given to the mental health program she champions has gone, according to reports.
In the three years it has been running, organizers at ThriveNYC have largely failed to keep records of the initiative’s achievements…If there even are any.
That could be because the main achievement has been siphoning money from the pockets of hard-working New Yorkers to bestow upon the city’s corruptocracy and its beneficiaries.
Despite that, the program has been granted an even bigger budget going forward and is now on track to spend $1billion over five years.
There is nothing Big Government loves more than failure. That’s why it is rewarded so lavishly with ever more public money.
Mental illness has reach epidemic levels in NYC, or Chirlane McCray would not be where she is. Putting her is charge of curing it through ThriveNYC is itself a symptom of mental illness.
In other NYC tax & spend news,
Meanwhile de Blasio announced earlier this week that he is mothballing his failed Renewal school program after spending $773million.
Great, now taxpayers will get their $773 million back. Just kidding. The loot has already been dispersed to the four winds.
There is plenty more waste where that came from:
How many other big-bucks initiatives are in similar straits is unknowable — mostly because bureaucrats never blow the whistle on themselves and also because Gotham’s formal watchdog, city Comptroller Scott Stringer, is among the most incurious individuals ever to hold the office.
You might say it is his job to be incurious.
New Yorkers voted for this and will do so again next election.

There should be open books on all government with taxpayer approvals needed for any program!
