Reply to comment by mowotlarx in Eric Adams keeps creating new offices by mowotlarx

Who said anything about fixing bureaucracy? That’s not the goal. The goal is an end-run around the bureaucracy.

That's not an end run around bureaucracy. It's literally adding another layer of bureaucracy.

Ask anyone working for the city how "simple" things become when the Mayor adds a new office to "oversee" what agencies are already working on. It's just another low staffed, over paid and under-informed office to submit more reports to and the odds are those offices won't even exist in the next administration.

That’s why I said “the bureaucracy.” Sorry that wasn’t clear, but I meant the existing civil service. Hand-picked czars give the mayor more control compared to nonpartisan career civil servants.
