After Mayor Adams announced the plan to shut down the migrant relief center on Randall’s Island, the NYC comptroller is asking for a detailed report outlining the cost for not only that location, but also an initial Bronx welcome center at Orchard Beach
"Many of the individuals that were staying at Randalls Island will be moved if they wish to our hotel humanitarian centers," said Manuel Castro, the city's Commissioner of Immigrant Affairs.
"We want to know what the cost was to set up on Orchard Beach, which they then took down and set up on Randall's Island," Lander said. He wrote a letter giving Adams until Wednesday to"provide my office with a detailed accounting of the costs." He said he thinks it could be much, much higher than the city has led on.
On Monday, Adams sounds annoyed that his fellow Brooklynite had elevated the spending issue so publicly.
