City spends $309K on four gas-guzzling SUVs to ferry Mayor Adams, other top officials

The city may be on the highway to hell — but at least the mayor’s headed there in style.
The city paid big bucks for four posh, gas-guzzling new SUVs to take Mayor Eric Adams and other top officials around town — even though the bike-boosting pol once vowed to pedal to work “all the time.”
City Hall added a gleaming black Lincoln Navigator with tricked-out rims, a Chevrolet Suburban High Country with 420 horsepower and two luxury Ford Expeditions to its fleet of department cars, for a combined total of roughly $309,000, The Post has learned.
“I thought we were in a fiscal crisis, or at least we were when we were having to negotiate the budget,” one city councilman snarked.
“You’d think a mayor trying to cut senior meals would be more frugal with his own fleet,” another blasted — referencing a proposed $12 million cut to the New York City Department for the Aging, which funds meal deliveries to the elderly.
