Schools Chancellor David Banks quietly promoted Mayor Adams’ girlfriend to a top job at the Department of Education, just months after Adams hired Banks’ girlfriend as a deputy mayor, The Post has learned. Banks named Tracey Collins—Adams’ longtime partner and NYC’s unofficial First Lady—the DOE’s “senior advisor to the deputy chancellor of school leadership,” Desmond Blackburn. She started the new job in July, and got a giant, 23% raise to $221,597 a year, records show. Hizzoner named Banks’ girlfriend, Sheena Wright, and four other women deputy mayors last Dec. 21. Deputy mayors made $251,982 in FY 21. Both women’s advancement underscores the tight inner circle of the Adams administration.

Eric Adams is DeBlasio 2.0. NYC, you got what you voted for, nepotism, corruption. Congratulations.

An obvious scam, but small potatoes compared to the BLM leadership skimming millions from their stupid contributors.

And the electorate sheep say, Baa Baa, we thought he would be different, Baa Baa. The height of the cesspool is approaching a critical level, Baa Baa.

And that's how they run things in Africa, as well as black run cities in the US.

This is routine stuff. If Hillary had won in 2016, Chelsea would be the richest woman in the USA. Just like Maduro's daughter in Venezuela.

weigh a minuet....Adams named her AND four other women Deputy Mayor?
A job that pays $261K/yr?
Do they split that between them or does each draw that same amount?
$1.3Million for single "deputy" position...what do they spend on staff? Security, Transport, travel, office space? Benefits?

At least they might be doing some actual work, not like Hunter selling $75,000 prints. $250,000 divided by $75,000 equals 3.3 prints to fund a deputy mayor. Biden spits on their petty corruption.

When the inhabitants of "Animal Farm" decided to assert themselves against their master, they elected one of their own, Napoleon as leader. He was going to be their savior! He soon showed his true intentions, garnering more and more power, usually by rhetoric that convinced his fellow animals to do as he wanted in the name of improving their lot, but in all ways and in everything he did (as opposed to what he said), Napoleon aggregated more and more power and perquisites to himself and his circle of ruling pigs. He surrounded himself with loyalists who took more and more privileges from the rest of the animals, all of whom seemed blind to their depredations and did as they were told. It is always thus with tyrants and the fools over whom they rule. The inhabitants (I would have said "citizens" but they have long ago forfeited that title) of NYC are worse fools than the inhabitants of Manor Farm in Orwell's' novel; they are supposed to be endowed with human intelligence. By their voting patterns, however, they betray a lack of everything that separates man from brute animal. Instead, they happily vote for the best liar, who feathers his own nest at their expense. Hitler had his Eva Braun; Mussolini had his Clara Petacci. Adams has his Tracy Collins and Banks has his Sheena Wright. We can only hope that they all share a common fate, and sooner rather than later.

The bad thing about all this corruption is that America has come to expect and accept it.

New Yorkers either don't understand that they elected a corrupt, stupid, black peacock to a job that he can not do or they know it and don't care. Judging from recent history they think he is wonderful. Diversity good. Crime good. Police bad. Coincidentally they did the same thing with their governor.

Adams reminds me of Kwame Kilpatrick who promoted himself from Mayor of Detroit to King. The job went to his head. Hiring his cronies, spending city money like water on his friends and family, including lavish trips to Vegas. Giving his wife a city owned Cadillac Escalade to drive around the city like the Queen she thought she was. Kwame is now serving 28 years in a federal prison.

First, David Dinkens. Now, Adams. What is it with NYC that makes them elect incompetent and corrupt black mayors?

Elect africans to run your government and you will have a government run by africans (along with everything that entails). Just like in africa.
Who knew?

Always follow the money...it leads directly to political corruption...I try and feel sorry for New Yorkers...but they voted him into office...probably with "funny" ballots and paid off vote counters...but...they have one way to fight back...don't pay your taxes...en mass ...and then Adams won't have your money to distribute to his friends and bed partners....
