The mayor plans to spend $53 million on prepaid cards to enable immigrants purchase groceries and take charge of their meals rather than relying on food provided by the city.
However, one aspect of the program that has drawn criticism is Adams’s no-bid contract, which was awarded to begin the initiative.
Gale Brewer, a council member, attacks the mayor for not putting the contract out to bid, contending that the public should receive the highest caliber of care at a fair price.
Who can blame people for being curious about this situation and what’s going on?
This plan has bad idea written all over it. It’s so obviously ripe for fraud.
