News of White’s relationship with Adams made the front page of The Post Wednesday.

 

Does Mayor Adams think his constituents in New York City are all fools (“Friends with benefit$,” Nov. 23)?

I really think he believes that as long as you are a relative, a friend or a friend of a friend that qualifies you for a $200,00-plus position in his administration.

Just how many deputies does the mayor need? Apparently, no one oversees these appointments.

I guess with his very active nightlife, the mayor needs all these deputies to run the city. It’s not surprising that so many people have been abandoning the Big Apple.

I voted for Mayor Adams because of his law-enforcement background and his no-nonsense campaign promises on fighting crime.

Clearly, I made a mistake. It’s evident that street crime is out of control, but so is the mayor’s blatant dispensing of lucrative patronage jobs to friends and family.

It has become evident that Adams is using his executive power recklessly.

Well, it seems like nothing is changing with the Democrats and the moves they make.

Our mayor has appointed his once-landlord, Lisa White, a former 911 dispatcher, to deputy NYPD commissioner.

What’s he going to do next — appoint his cleaning lady as commissioner of the Department of Sanitation? That’s probably a better move. At least she would have some cleaning experience. Rob Johann

​After seeing The Post’s front-page headline on Wednesday, the conclusion was clear. Obviously the old saying, “It’s not what you know, but who you who know,” is still operating very well.

Adams is definitely showing his true colors here.

Adams’ administration is not a very culturally diverse one. He has given his cronies high-paying jobs that most likely come with a handsome pension.

I have a problem if these people are not qualified for these jobs, and it’s based on nepotism alone.
