New York City's Housing Authority (NYCHA) is under scrutiny for potentially overpaying contractors in micro-purchase contracts, leading to inflated costs potentially amounting to hundreds of thousands or even millions of taxpayer dollars. An oversight hearing co-chaired by Councilmembers Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan), @CMCHRISBANKS42, and @GaleBrewerNYC at 1PM aimed to shed light on NYCHA's handling of bribery and extortion related to these contracts. The hearing follows a report by THE CITY on suspicious costs in no-bid contracts, prompting NYCHA's chair to vow seeking restitution for overpayments during a hearing in wake of a big @NYC_DOI probe of corruption. Additionally, 70 former and current NYCHA superintendents have been charged with receiving over $2 million in bribes from contractors.
