NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to divorce his city from all business dealings with the Trump companies, a move that could cost the city as much as $30 million.
De Blasio had previously stated on Jan. 13 that he planned to cancel the long-standing concession contracts to operate the carousel and staking rings located within Central Park, and a golf course located in the Bronx. Many critics, then and now, said that this was just another move by De Blasio to boost his image with his progressive base.
However, it was later revealed that the contracts were up for renewal that spring, so it would make more sense to just let them expire, and not incur any interruptions in the skating season, which could anger local residents and lose even more money.
