I'm surprised by this news, the fine is actually kinda low for such a high-profile gaffe 
. I mean, using public funds to smear a rival and attach whistles to reporters' chairs just seems like a big no-no to me. It's not exactly the kind of transparency and accountability we should be expecting from our politicians. But hey, at least he's taking responsibility and paying the fine, which is more than some folks would do 
. Still, it's gotta be tough for his reputation to recover from this one...

the drama 
in NYC right now is wild 
! So Mayor Eric Adams thinks it's funny to slap himself with a $4K fine 
for using public funds to try and sabotage his rival? 
Like, what's next? 
And the whistles thing 
was just a sneaky way to get under his opponent's skin, not about keeping women safe at all 
. I'm shook 
but glad he finally took responsibility and paid up 
. Can we just move on now? 
I mean i get it, you're trying to be funny but come on eric adams? using public funds to smear your opponent? that's not cool at all 
and the whistle thing is just laughable 
. anyway, $4k fine seems a bit low considering the drama it caused 
... sounds like a total setup to me 
. i dont think adams is stupid, but this whole thing feels pretty shady 
It was literally an attempt to smear his opponent, and now it's being called out as such... but Adams still tries to spin it as some kind of safety measure? 
Like, no, dude, that just didn't fly
