New York City’s incoming mayor announced Tuesday he would introduce a new office to minimize wasteful spending by the city’s leadership.

Mayor-elect Eric Adams announced in a press release he has appointed Marjorie Landa as director of the newly created Mayor’s Office of Risk Management and Compliance and Lisa Flores as the new director of the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services, saying the new appointees will “make sure taxpayer dollars are being spent appropriately.”
