[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nyc-dumps-200m-of-covid-supplies-for-500k[/URL] Back in April 2020, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that New York City placed an order for 3,000 emergency ventilators. It was an emergency order made in extraordinary times, back when the Big Apple was the epicenter of the global COVID pandemic. One of the costliest items-- 3,000 emergency ventilators, totaling $12 million. "They put them in the corner or in the closet or something, and they never turned him on," said Greg Smith, an investigative reporter with "The City," a non-profit news outlet. And now—according to Smith’s investigation, Mayor Eric Adams' administration is selling that excess equipment-- like masks, medical gowns, and ventilators-- for pennies on the dollar in online auctions. "The advertisement in the auction was for ‘nonfunctioning medical equipment for scrap metal,’ and they sold it to this junk dealer on Long Island for $24,600. [/QUOTE]
