Great photo-op opportunity. Meanwhile Mayor Adams has stripped away the healthcare of 250,000 retirees and their dependents… healthcare which we worked and paid for…and promised the day we started working for the city. He called the switch to an inferior healthcare plan a “bait and switch” when he was running for office … then quickly changed his tune once elected. Actions, not words, count.
Ask yourself how and who exactly voted this unsuitable and inexperienced man to be the mayor of the biggest city?
