this reminds me of years ago when DMV employees were caught taking bribes from people who couldn't pass the driving tests. Desperate people do desperate things.

Did the fbi arrest the mayor? Don’t think that 10 years of violations would not be evident to the mayor Adam’s. Millions of dollars is a lot for doing nothing..

There bail was 25 to 50, 000? So if you assault a police officer you can get out without posting a bail... this system is upside down it's every man for himself protect yourself and your loved ones....

Once you start giving or accepting kickbacks, you are compromised professionally & personally forever. Many individuals & companies do it, but just occasionally you get found out...& no matter what anyone says, it is thieving, corrupt & highly unprofessional.

back in the 90's I worked for xerox maintaining finance contracts for office equipment with various NYC agencies. the housing authority was a nightmare of bureaucracy as they would try to go a year or more without paying

I'm not surprised. I was told that here in Massachusetts, there's a housing office that will give you a section 8 voucher for $500.
