Wonder where it all went?
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, was given $900 million to start a mental health initiative focusing on helping the homeless in the city. Four years later, no one seems to know what that money was actually used for, according to the New York Post.
The City Council discovered this shocking amount of potential waste during a meeting Wednesday. And while it sounds good to spend heavily on a mental health initiative, it appears that nobody has noticed any real benefits from that investment.
“I like the fact that money is going toward mental health, but when they say we’re seeing a benefit in all areas, I take exception to that, because I don’t see it everywhere,” Queens Councilman Robert Holden told The Post. “I’m not sure anybody does.”
The Thrive program, which had its budget raised to $250 million per year in 2019, has produced some underwhelming numbers in terms of how many people it impacts.
Seven mayors attended a 2017 national mental health conference in New York City. Only 570 of the estimated 12-15,000 mothers who experience postpartum depression have been reached by the program, Politico reported, a number NYC disputes.
Of the 78,000 newborn deliveries in the city annually, only 28,560 new mothers have been screened by the Thrive program.
Bob McManus harshly assessed the program’s effectiveness for the New York Post:
So, ipso presto, co-Mayor Bill coughed up enough cash to break a pack mule’s back and sent it off to co-Mayor Chirlane — who then went forth to cure Gotham’s mental-illness problems.
Fast-forward to Wednesday, when the City Council was startled to discover that McCray and Team Thrive are closing in on having spent an eye-popping $900 million since the program’s inception — and nobody seems to have a clue on what.
That is, nobody appears to have kept receipts; the subways and street corners are still overrun with crazy people, and nobody in charge knows what’s to happen next.

This must be investigated.
When they are all crazy anyway, who can tell?
well now tell me does this surprise you THis mayor is the worst there is I did not think New York could afford to waste anything maybe if you look in the drive way or in the cupboard you might find some of that 900 million hidden somewhere
So what are they going to do about all the money missing I guess because her husband and her are Democrats.
NO paper trail? Anyone going to prosecute her?
How can there be no trail of one organization spending over a billion dollars, $900 million being unaccountable for, in just four years? Did they use cash for everything, or did they not use checks to pay invoices? This would be impossible, even if there was a tremendous attempt to hide this money, for that is too large a sum of money leaving a checking account not to see where at least some of it went to.
Prosecute Both of them , the shitbag Crimina mayor and his wife..
and noboby going to jail I think a new 9/11 is needed in NYC to clean this swamp
I SAY Accountability for Mayor Bill DeBlasio and his wife Chirlane McCray and $900,000,000 dollars.Strip them.Find the money!!!!!
It is probably in an offshore account……. Like CUBA the Commie B-tard. Democrat’s are so corrupt. They should be investing HIM not Trump
No loyalty anymore just criminal’s running our Government. No one on the Democratic party are ever held accountable. So much fraudulent activity amongst the supposedly loyal politicians. Drug’s, Illegals entering, trafficking of children and women, abortion praised and used as birth control. We’re have our moral’s gone? This behavior isn’t acceptable in my eyes.
DON’T YOU KNOW WHERE THE MONEY WENT? THE MONEY ALL $900B IS FOR de BLASIO’S RETIREMENT FUND, A FUND THAT HE RICHLY DESERVES BEING THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK!
I’M SURE THAT HE HAS BEEN WORKING @!%@ HARD FOR THE PEOPLE, I CAN SAY THAT HE BEING THE MAYOR, HIS CLAIM TO FAME IS THAT HE IS THE GREATEST NIGHTMAYOR THAT NY HAS EVER HAD! AS PELOOOSLY WOULD SAY, “IT’S CHUMP CHANGE!”
Lock both up and SIEZE all assets for massive corruption!!
Thats dummycrates for ya….all they know to do is spend, on what….nothing, but the money is gone….its truly hard to believe that the snowflakes, want a dummycrate as a pres, were domed if they one gets in office…..pelosi, is so stupid, its hard to believe that people in Calif actually vore for this….idiot.
Great to know. CA isn’t the only place that loses hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and aren’t held accountable to where the money was spent. Now, we have a goobernor that this the nephew of the Loser Peloser and he’s showing how he follows the family tradition of being stupid.
Probably used to pay for AOC voters.
Not only the subways and street corners are overrun with crazy people, a majority of the voters who support this mayor share the affliction as well, also common across California.
Why isn’t Chirlane McCray in jail and why hasn’t Mayor Bill DeBlasio been forced to resign? Who are these corrupt people?!!!
WHEN ANY AMOUT OF MONEY IS GIVEN , A RECEIPT OR INVOICE SHOULD BE GIVEN TO SHOW WHAT IT IS FOR! THE MAYOR SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE & ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT HIS WIFE GAVE THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO. DON’T JUST LET THIS GET SWEPT UNDER THE RUG IT NEEDS ANSWERS & ASAP!
Isn’t his “wife” the black lesbian? Both of them…lying, good for nothing trash! NO ONE with any sense or even a “smidgen ” of decency would ever vote dem!
LMAO…the morons of NY city elected a known communist for their mayor, and they want honest?
Definitely needs to be investigated. Corruption in NYC isn’t anything new.. Shut them down and find the dam money.
Dems hate Trump, Well maybe they should look in the mirror. They ARE SO GOOD AT TAKING OUR MONEY. But they do no wrong. Hahaha. Lying Assholes. She should go to jail. Oh I wonder who will bail her out.
Low life’s. KISS MY ASS. TRUMP WILL GET US OUT
.
They need to investigate. Blatant thievery and unaccountability is wrong. Blatant stealing.
Some kind of crooks. Lock them both up
Another Leftist involved in unethical, highly suspicious or criminal conduct that the media will completely ignore and not a darn thing will happen in this two-tiered justice system.
If there is anyone out there who is surprised that DeBlasio would be a party to this scam, please give us your name so we can sign you up for some mental health treatment in his
wife’s program.
Funny isn’t it, they always want to spend a lot of many and no one ever knows where it went, lock her and her husband up
If NY was smart they would never be out of jail to claim it.
RUDY GIULIANI, THE ENFORCER DUMPED DAVID DINKENS AND HIS SCUM BRETHEREN AND RID NYC OF THESE THIEIVING BASTARDS. THEN HE TOOK ON THE “FIVE FAMILIES” WITH THE RICO ACT AND TOOK THEIR THIEVING WAYS OFF THE BACKS OF NYC CITIZENS. HEY YOU STUPID CITIZENS OF NYC, GET YOURSELVES A CHAMPION WHO WILL BREAK LEGS AND HEADS TO BRING BACK NYC TO IT’s PAST GLORY. LET’s GET RID OF THE CURRENT KNOWN CARD CARRYING COMMUNIST/MARXIST AND HIS CRIMINAL WIFE WHO ABSCONDS WITH $900 BILLION DOLLARS AND GIVES YOU ALL THE FINGER. YOU JACKASSES PUT THIS CORRUPT ALTAR BOY AND ????? WIFE ????? BY GIVING THEM AND ALL DEMOCRATS THE WHOLE STORE. STARVE IDIOTS YOU GOT ALL YOU HOPED FOR.
Will you please read carefully and it will not be 900 billion your talking about. It’s 900 million with an “M” not a “B”. Still needs explaining though.
New Yorkers sound like dumbest population after California. They had the dumbest Billionaire Doomsberg who was a control freak destroyed that great state, then put an unknown Communist bull Shitter as next mayor who with his weird family turned the city to a hiding place for criminals and Jihadists. Now his wife does not know where 900 Millions went???! And all these criminals are after President Trump who gave a Royalty life , working free 7 days a week to save the country he loves and was in hand of bunch of anti America pro Terrorists for eight years. Gave 150 Billions to Terrorist Regime in Iran to promote
Jihad all over Middle East and South Africa. And their new hero is an ilitarate X bartender Ocasio-Cortez. How stupid are New Year Yorkers is beyond believe.😈😩👎
Kommiefornia’s bullet train was4ed billions on the high speed train. Now New York has to figure out where the money went. Maybe she invested in solyndra.
She’ll look good in orange end up as someone “Bitch”
IT’S AMAZING TO SEE A.O.C. WITH HER LIST OF ANTI-SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS. SEEMS LIKE THE ONE SENATOR JOE MCCARTHY HAD BACK IN THE 1940S OF THOSE SUPPOSEDLY BEING COMMUNISTS IN THE EARLY COLD WAR ERA. THREATS, INUENDO, INTIMIDATION AND OUTRIGHT LIES ARE THE TOOLS OF SCOUNDRELS.
Well what you expect we have another Hillary Clinton in New York the Democrats really has some good people who know how to get rich of the taxpayers back
This is what you get when Democrats run anything! And you won’t see the MSM report on it! These POS are crooks. They should be arrested and jailed forever! The media companies should be banned from their own industry as their inability to report the news has overcome having them in the trade! Their hosts are lunatics and liars. If you don’t believe it watch the Sunday morning news shows. There is no limit to how far they will lie and manipulate the truth!
Over the years Nancy Pelosi has done the same thing, providing government contracts to hers, her husbands, and her son in law’s businesses. It’s the old story “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours”. Meanwhile the taxpayer footing the bill sees no benefit from all the tax dollars being used to increase the bank accounts of the politicians. It’s been going on for ages. That’s the main reason Pelosi and the democrats are trying so hard to get rid of Trump before all this is made public. It’s also the reason the “old” politicians pushed Pelosi back into the speaker’s position before they, themselves, were exposed.
I’m gonna try again since this comment was “dropped”. This thing has been going on for a long time. Nancy Pelosi has spent billions, pushing government contracts to her’s, her husband’s and son in law’s business. That’s the main reason the democrats are trying so hard to get rid of Trump, before they are exposed and why the “old timers” up there pushed Pelosi back into the speaker’s position. But the cat’s out of the bag and finally the taxpaying people who are paying for all this are getting a look at just how crooked these politicians are.
Don’t buy any products from New York or California. Don’t buy any California made wines and products. Boycott them. Make them bleed. Don’t buy Purity vitamins and products from New York. Don’t attend or watch any New York sports (New York Yankees). Don’t go to New years eve parades or events.
I’m convinced that most people cannot handle either POWER and MONEY objectively. Just put either one in someone’s hands and watch the abuse creep in inch by inch. I don’t know why this happens, but I see it in every walk of life, especially the political.
Would think the good people of New York would demand where their money went. Do they really care or is graf part of what they accept in their govenring body?
WELL LIKE I SAID ALL ALONG DEBLASIO AND CUOMO HAVE BEEN RIPPING NYS OFF FOR YEARS AND PUTTING OUR MONEY IN THEIR OWN POCKETS AND OF COURSE SPENDING AS MUCH OF IT AS THEY CAN ON THEMSELFS AND FAMILY AND FRIENDS, ISN,T IT NICE TO KNOW WE WORK OUR ASS,S OFF JUST TO PAY TAXS SO THE GOVERMENT AND THESE TWO AS_HOLES (CUOMO AND DEBLASIO) CAN BLOW IT ALL.WELCOM TO THE (DEEP STATE).
This is why there should be accountability in government. Then again, how else can some one go into politics broke and come out millionaires, they call it corruption for a reason. Personally, why is his wife not held accountable, how many friends and family did she hire for this initiative that cost 900 million.
Wow! I knew New York State was corrupt, but oh my God!
I was born in NYC & lived all of my adult life there – until I retired & left – as far as I am concerned Koch & Giuliani were the best Mayors NYC ever had – after those 2 its all gone “downhill” still miss that city & have been back a few times – but no more – too much as changed – NOT THE SAME PLACE!
Typical socialist magic mumbo jumbo. Spending other peoples money on ….. nothing. This is one of many reasons that NYS/NYC are doomed for failure.
Back in the 1970s, while at Texas Instruments in N Texas, I trained and supervised many transplants from the East and Left Coast. It was difficult to say the least. They experienced quite a cultural shock. It’s a reason why Texas is politically turning from Red to Purple.
look at the high waste, and pollution our cars are producing, a 200 mpg Porge vapor carburetor sitting in the patient office
collecting dust, liquid gas does not burn, Volkswagen has a 264 mpg diesel not coming here, boycott the oil company owned auto company’s, spread the word.
The only thing that will bring us out of this depression is free energy, hydrogen from water, have this as your debate, you can make all the hydrogen, as you drive from a tank of water, you know our space shuttles,are powered by hydrogen / oxygen made from water, tell every one not buy a new car / truck, to boycott the auto company’s, when they can’t sell their pieces of junk low mileage vehicles, they will have to bring out water to hydrogen powered vehicles, and kits to change the vehicles now that we have, just think what our world would be like with free energy. Do you want your world back? spread the word boycott the auto company’s that are destroying our world. the inventor of the water to hydrogen auto was murdered by our Democrat Government, get mad get real mad of the Democrats. Also audit all the Senator’s and representatives, they have wasted, and stole our money, make them repay all, and tax them. Do these 2 things, and the Demo rats will be finished, don’t do this and the civil war, will escalate, and the economy will collapse, get this out all over the USA. this is the only thing that will bring the economy around.put this out , and spread the word to boycott the auto company’s don’t buy a new car/ or truck. do this Trump, and we will have our dreams back again.
They want to find out if President Trump charged his DC Hotel higher then normal booking rate to host his inauguration party with GOP funds by $30000 for over 1000 people that came to the party but, could give a flying crap if the mayors wife spent the taxpayers money of close to a billion dollars with no receipts, no nothing for the time he has been mayor is just some oversite, that will get shoved under the rug. Way to go Blasio, the taxpayer has unlimited open checkbook for you to dance and party at meetings and nothing ever gets to the people in need, sounds like she took lessons from the Clinton foundation.
Exactly what is the good of us wasting our time commenting. Nothing ever changes. The stupid bastards who do not want to work or earn there keep vote in mega crooks so they can continue with there retirement as soon as they come of age 18. They have no clue about anything because there useless parents only taught them the ” ART OF USING THE SYSTEM.” And the MEGA crooks in all government just don’t give a RATS ass because they are getting millions in graft (payola). So it will not change for the good. Its only going to get much worse. We are on the way to being a third world country. Wait until the stupid bastards realize that the government crooks have no more of our money to bribe them with. It will then be up to the military. Who will our soldiers be loyal too???? I hope that God is
there and will hopefully save our wretched selves.
well let’s see . who care’s it’s only money. that’s the way democrats think, I say put her in jail until it’s all accounted for.
You never let a Democrat watch the money. It’s like letting a coyote watch the chickens.
They have no scruples. If their lips are moving, they are lying.
Now they will all shrug their shoulders and say I don’t know and expect everyone to forget about the
the money.
Dont you all worry! NYC has plenty of money to spend. It just in a wrong hand.
I think we should investigate Pelosi’s family ties with government contracts and inside information. Mueller’s Democratic pseudo investigation of Russian collusion should carry over to investigation of Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and probably Adam Schiff. They will call it partisan politics but that is what has been going for two years since Trump won the Presidency and Hillary snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. She should be in jail for violating security regulations(knowingly or not as many have been procecuted by our laws for less cause). God help America and let’s get sanity back into our government. Most of the liberal media support the demise of America. I have so much more to say but will defer to a later time.
NY was nothing but a rude ass shit whole place when we visited there during Xmas time, so it really don’t surprise me that a sorry ass politicians and his family would do something like this. It’s a prime example of how shitty,rude, and taking people’s hard earned money, that New Yorkers are and can be. It all starts at the top.
Blacks comprise less than 13% of the population, yet commit 50% of the crimes. Yup. Makes sense.
WHAT DID U EXPECT FROM DEBLASIO AND HIS WIFE, THEY R DEMOCRATS, PISSING AWAY NOT THEIR MONEY JUST LIKE HERE IN CALIFORNIA 77 BILLION DOLLAR BULLET TRAIN TO NOWHERE
