Amid a fundraising probe involving Mayor Adams, NYC's new campaign finance watchdog is navigating the situation. A fuel oil firm accuses Adams' administration of bid-rigging to favor a Brooklyn firm linked to Adams' campaign. The firm allegedly received an exclusive contract to sell renewable diesel, displacing the initial winning bidder, after making donations to Adams' mayoral campaign. Concerns have been raised about loopholes in the Campaign Finance Board system, with calls for reforms to address these issues. Additionally, Mayor Adams' top advisor is facing a lawsuit for allegedly not paying a real estate agent a $355,000 broker fee in a deal that was initiated while working at City Hall but later fell through.
