  1. The Mayor is going to check with NYCOM, to find out why the city doesn’t report the acceptance of Grant funding and report it to the public. It’s his city, not some other Mayor’s city. It’s called passing the buck…His Clerk said she is transparent, well nobody knew about $191,000 grant and receiving it…or they didn’t want to ans. the questions Mr. Castiglia was asking, only the Chief, not the Mayor he even thought it came in back in 2023.
