Justin Brannan, a candidate for City Comptroller, proposes a bold plan to combat public corruption amidst recent scandals in Mayor Eric Adams' administration. His strategy includes creating a watchlist of the top 25 problematic city contractors, enhancing oversight on city contracts to eliminate conflicts of interest, and empowering the Comptroller's office to investigate city agencies more thoroughly. Brannan emphasizes the importance of ethics in government, advocating for accountability and transparency in the use of taxpayer dollars, especially in light of past corruption issues. He faces competition from Mark Levine in the upcoming primary on June 24.
"I've always believed that public service is a public trust, and our government should work for the people and not the well-connected. I have zero tolerance for corruption."
"Under the plan, Brannan wants to roll out a watchlist for the 25 worst actors among city contractors and vendors, aiming for increased accountability and oversight."
