Our public funds are funneled into politically connected nonprofits and special interests with little oversight, but a local DOGE could finally bring transparency and accountability.
Members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency arrived at the Internal Revenue Service building to begin examining the agency's operations.And that’s just the tip of the iceberg: Federal agencies under President Joe Biden funneled millions into nonprofits such as Make the Road NY, which actively shields illegal migrants from federal authorities.
City Council Finance Chair Justin Brannan ignored my calls to double funding for veterans’ services — until it suited his political career.This is how politics works here: Public officials don’t serve you, they serve their ambitions.Politically motivated nonprofits are raking in millions from city coffers while “influencing” the policies of the politicians who funded them in the first place.
It doesn’t end there: The city allocated $415 million for its Gun Violence Prevention Task Force last year — a body that has obviously not made residents any safer. Elsewhere in its monstrous education budget, our city is spending $3.5 million for LGBTQI+ community services, $1.58 million for trans equity programs, and $700,000 for a program labeled “DEI in Tech” — social-justice initiatives that have nothing to do with educating our kids.
Why are we spending more on defending illegal migrants than on ensuring veterans and law-abiding citizens get the support they deserve?
