He's a big city Democrat mayor after all — who'd have guessed?
/Voting rights for non-citizens, sure, why not? Nepotism? It’s in the finest of political traditions.
Eric Adams appoints his little brother a deputy Police Commissioner at $242,000 per
Mayor Eric Adams has tapped his younger brother to serve as a deputy NYPD commissioner, The Post has learned.
Bernard Adams, a 56-year-old retired NYPD sergeant, will oversee governmental affairs, he confirmed Friday. But the full scope of his responsibilities was not immediately clear.
And it seems it wasn’t announced; the Post found it.
Internal documents obtained by The Post show Bernard Adams listed as a deputy commissioner on the official NYPD roster.
A civilian post, deputy police commissioners typically make around $242,000, although it was not immediately clear what his salary would be in the department.
Nothing wrong, of course, with a politician tapping the best
Bernard Adams’ LinkedIn profile lists his current job as assistant director for parking at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he’s been employed since 2011.
I’d give him a pass on this, because every politician needs a few loyal people to guard his back, and who better than a family member (well, the Fountains are an odd family, so maybe we’d have to look elsewhere ….) but Adams is claiming that he needs his brother, the ex-parking lot attendant, to protect him from “white extremists”. Since those are imaginary creations, it’s safe to assume that the reason he’s hired his brother is because he can.
