Reply to comment by NewYorker0 in NYC comptroller says city’s approach to migrant crisis is financially unsustainable by Grass8989
Not really it works out for the major voting blocs who can carve out favorable politicians and kickbacks. If you saw the quote I included just one NYC union I've never heard of out of hundreds, had over 160k members. Adams had the popular support of the majority of unions. A normal NYC middle class voter can't muster a voting bloc large enough to overcome established interests and party interests (which also get national backing and support). That's why independents can't gain any ground in NYC

Public unions are a threat to the public it seems then. Also I want to add that voter turnout is depressingly low in local mayoral elections, I believe if more people vote in the election and for the right person then we can solve our problems.
