Councilman can’t believe city spent $2M on this tiny park bathroom
July 6, 2017
A Brooklyn councilman is accusing the city of flushing $2 million down the toilet while building a public restroom at a local park.
Democrat David Greenfield told WCBS-TV on Wednesday that it took him 7½ years to get City Hall to repair the formerly run-down Gravesend Park on 18th Avenue.
But the newly refurbished park became a pyrrhic victory for Greenfield when he learned it cost $2 million to build the new, 400-square-foot bathroom facility.
“I’m frustrated that we are essentially wasting taxpayer money,” Greenfield said. “You can build a complete house in six months for $1 million.”
He pointed blame directly at Mayor Bill de Blasio, explaining, “The buck stops with the administration and at the end of the day, if the administration really made this their priority, they could figure out a way to cut the red tape.”
Republican mayoral candidate Nicole Malliotakis also piled on the administration, saying the project was plagued by “mismanagement.
“You get a feeling in this administration that taxpayer money grows on trees,” she said.
Constitution Believer replied:
ANY politician regardless of the party feel the taxpayer is a walking ATM. Obama pulled it with his so called “AFFORDABLE CARE ACT”…I am still laughing at that one and it has been almost 8 years…
