She sent emails.
He gave government jobs (and money) to family members with no qualifications.
And then there's the $850 that de Blasio's wife "misplaced".
If we're talking governmental grift and theft, Vernikov certainly is in good company in NYC.

I'll take that over Eric Adams giving all his friends and family members 200k jobs.

depends on the meat
with foie gras, you'd want a dry, or moderately sweet white wine
although some people will go super sweet

The dudes for which drinking alcohol is 75% of their personality are probably the same (or friends with) the ones for which eating meat is their biggest personality trait. Bonus point if they like to shit on vegans, or consider that buying a plastic wrapped steak in a supermarket fridge makes them manly. Similar phenomenon with drinks.

The term "California sober" does imply California, after all.

Well, in the light of what the current and former mayors did, it is kinda inconsequential. That doesn't make it excusable, though (nor did I say it was), nor legal.
But it's such small fish stuff compared to the bigger scale fraud happening in local politics that it's almost laughable to focus on that.
But then we don't have a ton of local GOP politicians, so we'll take what we can. We did have George Santos, though, that one for sure delivered.
