NYC Mayor Denied Matching Funds Due To Shadiness

The New York Times reports:

Mayor Eric Adams was denied public matching funds for his re-election campaign on Monday amid concerns about his fund-raising practices, dealing a major setback to his bid for a second term.

The New York City Campaign Finance Board ruled that Mr. Adams could not participate in a program that awards an eight-for-one match of small-dollar donations, withholding as much as $4.3 million.

“After thoroughly reviewing all available information including the details of the indictment of Mayor Adams, the board has determined that there is reason to believe the Adams campaign has engaged in conduct detrimental to the matching-funds program in violation of law,” said Frederick P. Schaffer, the board’s chair.
