Mayor subpoenaed over $1 billion in homeless funds answers with a single raised finger

“A billion dollars goes missing from a homeless-services budget, Congress asks the mayor to come explain it, and the mayor's office sends back a middle finger instead of a witness list — that's not defiance, that's confidence, the confidence of knowing nobody's actually coming to collect. Meanwhile every unhoused person that money was supposed to house is still outside, and the city's answer to "where'd it go" is a hand gesture on letterhead. When they've got the stones to flip off a subpoena over a billion public dollars, that's your tell there's no accountability coming from either direction.”

“Look, the mayor's office responded, and responsiveness is what the panel asked for. Did I say responded? I mean — a gesture is not testimony, that's fair, but you have to admit it's efficient. The subcommittee wanted an answer and got one, in the sense that a slammed door is technically a form of communication. I'm not saying skip the hearing. I'm saying maybe the hearing skipped itself.”
