EXCLUSIVE: Comptroller hopeful Brannan pitches plan to publicize ‘bad actors’ tied to NYC government corruption

Brooklyn City Council Member Justin Brannan is pitching a plan to crack down on corruption in city government as part of his comptroller bid, following the multiple scandals that engulfed Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, amNewYork has learned.

Brannan’s plan — shared exclusively with amNewYork ahead of its release — promises to begin publishing a list of “bad actor” city contractors, strengthen oversight of the city’s contracting process to root out conflicts of interest, and expand the office’s investigative power over city agencies.
