Reply to comment by spoil_of_the_cities in Council to Adams: there’s more money to be found by exgalactic

One agency is beholden to the Mayor (OMB) and the other isn't. I wouldn't consider one more trustworthy than the other. But I definitely wouldn't consider OMB to be a neutral party of professionals. They were told by Adams to produce what he wanted, I assure you.

Most NYC government employees are non-partisan and are not affiliated with a Mayor. Unless you got evidence that Adams got them to cook the books for him, this is no different than the Republican Deep State garbage.

The Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget is very much affiliated with the Mayor.

And their staff of 400 analysts, economists and accountants doesn't change over between Mayors. It's like saying the Congressional Budget Office is affiliated with whomever the Senate Leader or Speaker of the House is, when the Office actually just does the same work regardless of who is in power.
