REMEMBER THIS?
THE TENT CITY WITH COTS, NEW LINENS, VIDEO GAMES, AND DINING.
IT OPENED LAST MONTH TO HELP NEW YORK CITY WITH AN INFLUX OF MIGRANTS BEING BUSED TO THE CITY FROM TEXAS.
THE ONCE TOUTED SOLUTION WAS SHORT LIVED.
AS IT’S CLOSING DOWN THIS WEEK.
THE MAYOR SAYS THE FACILITY IS NO LONGER NEEDED…
AS THEY’LL NOW BE RESORTING BACK TO HOTELS TO HOUSE THE MIGRANTS.
600 ROOMS ARE NOW OPENED UP IN DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN AT A HOTEL CONTRACTED OUT BY THE CITY.
58 OTHER HOTELS ARE ALSO CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY MIGRANTS.
CRITICS ARE ASKING THE MAYOR WHY THIS WASN’T THE PLAN FROM THE GET-GO.
QUESTIONING THE MONEY SPENT ON ITS TENT CITY THAT DIDN’T LAST PAST THREE WEEKS.
EVEN THE CITY’S FINANCE OFFICE IS QUESTIONING THE MAYOR’S SPENDING…ASKING FOR A TOTAL PRICE TAG THAT HASN’T BEEN MADE TRANSPARENT EVEN TO CITY FINANCE OFFICIALS.
THE MAYOR SAYS THE RATE OF WHICH MIGRANTS ARE ARRIVING HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWED DOWN.
VOWING TO CONTINUE CARING FOR THOSE WHO ARRIVE..AND TRANSFERRING ANY MIGRANTS IN THE TENT CITY TO HOTEL ROOMS LATER THIS WEEK.
