Your tax dollars at work Because hizonner, Eric Adams, Mayor of the City of New York, wants to look tough on crime, he has authorized a massive police presence on the subway, resulting in overtime pay for police on this duty going from $4,000,000.00 to 155,000,000.00, with the most of the effort going to pursue fare evaders.
Even by the standards of recent Mayors of New York, Giuliani, Bloomberg, and de Blasio, Adams is a complete ass-monkey.
NYPD overtime pay for extra officers in the subway went from $4 million in 2022 to $155 million this year, according to city records obtained by Gothamist.
The new spending was part of a push by Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul to reduce crime and crack down on New Yorkers sleeping in the transit system – in part by flooding the subways with uniformed NYPD officers working overtime shifts.
The influx of officers corresponded to a 2% drop in what police call “major” crimes in the subway, including robbery, rape and murder. But the most marked effect of adding officers was a skyrocketing number of tickets and arrests for fare evasion. Police officials said they count that as a success.
Of course they count it as a success. They got paid overtime for this bullsh%$ job.
I really hope that Eric Adams' complete uselessness won't somehow lead to the revival of "Rat Faced Andy" Cuomo's career.
He is making noise about running for Mayor the next time around.
