Adrienne Adams, the New York City Council speaker and mayoral candidate, has overseen a dramatic increase in taxpayer funding to organizations linked to the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral, where she is a long-time member. Since taking office, over $3 million has been allocated to these groups, a stark contrast to the under $100,000 provided in 2018. This surge has raised questions about the influence of political connections in funding decisions, particularly given Adams' close ties to the church's leadership, including ex-Rep. Floyd Flake and his wife, M. Elaine Flake.
"The sum of taxpayer money funneled to church-affiliated organizations represents a growing concern over the potential for political favoritism and lack of transparency in funding allocations."
"Under Adrienne Adams' leadership, funding to the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral and its affiliates has skyrocketed, raising eyebrows about the motivations behind these financial decisions."
