NYC Comptroller Stringer sues Mayor de Blasio over COVID contracting practices, cites ‘alarming’ findings

“His rationale at the time was that the city just didn’t have time for accountability. And now, 15 months later, the city has entered into more than $6.9 billion in contracts without charter-mandated oversight,” Stringer said, referring to de Blasio. “My office has examined some of these contracts, and the findings are alarming.”
