Malliotakis Calls for Transparency and Accountability with Where’s Out Money Act?
.@NYGovCuomo & @NYCMayor spend our tax dollars worse than drunken sailors. Whether it’s using $2B+ in federal aid on checks for illegal immigrants or squandering billions on ThriveNYC – enough is enough. My bill will bring transparency with the goal of accountability. ?? pic.twitter.com/zPxgYlgt7e

This sounds like a solid bill that Congresswoman Malliotakis introduced (her description), but it’s not available online yet to read it. (See here)
Politics and political parties aside, whoever is in leadership in 2021 should be able to and WANT to show how our money is being spent.
Malliotakis is making me like her. Maybe she grows on people after awhile.
In our community in Bay Ridge, Assemblywoman Mathylde Frontus is transparent about the spending, even if you or I don’t agree with how she spent it, Frontus has been transparent.
Senator Andrew Gounardes has not been transparent. Last Fall, my husband asked about spending and was given a strange list without specifics. Gounardes’ staffer took several weeks to reply to my husband. Tori said to contact her with any questions, but did not reply to my husband.
Councilman Justin Brannan doesn’t want to be transparent on some things. NYC government records let us know that Brannan set aside a million dollars for an office upgrade. (See here) The building doesn’t seem to need a million dollar upgrade, but Brannan has not spoken about our tax money being used there. The building is not owned by the government, so that money is not being invested in the community long-term, as it would be on a community center.
