Mayor Eric Adams: King of NY Official Thread

[Miles Davis]

This is what the people wanted

Where did I say the government should subsidize employers? I said the government should give people money. Raise the minimum wage, etc

The crimes that have gone up aren’t murder and rape, but crimes of need. Desperate people, unfortunately, do desperate things. Let’s make them not desperate.


In 2022, that is a mainstream political talking point because both parties are mainstream advocates. Remember, this discussion started with NYC‘s DEMOCRATIC PARTY government advocating for more law enforcement. One of 2022 Democratic Party platforms is to fund the police.

Murder is up. Wtf are you talking about

Crime of need

This is only comparing august 2022 to august 2021

Murder is down from 2020 and 2021 but it’s still too high and NY has been very aggressive in targeting gangs and guns

So they haven’t been downplaying crime like some of y’all love to do. They’re actually addressing it because that’s what the public wants

A career 911 dispatcher and longtime friend of New York City mayor Eric Adams who rented a room to Adams in her apartment in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights for four years now has one of the highest-paid jobs in city government, records show.

In May, the NYPD appointed Lisa White as its deputy commissioner for employee relations, at a salary of more than $241,000 a year – a nearly fivefold boost over her prior salary there and almost as much as the police commissioner makes.

In her new role, White attends to the health, wellbeing and morale of the NYPD’s 35,000 uniformed members, including their corps of chaplains, along with bereavement and other support services for families.

Adams has unapologetically hired a number of close friends to top city posts, including David Banks as schools chancellor and Banks’s partner, Sheena Wright, as a deputy mayor.

The mayor tapped Banks’s brother Philip Banks – who resigned as NYPD chief of department in 2014 amid a federal bribery probe in a case that later identified him as an unindicted co-conspirator – as deputy mayor for public safety, reporting directly to Adams.

Adams also tried to give his own brother, Bernard Adams, a $242,000 gig as the NYPD’s deputy commissioner of governmental affairs, the New York Post revealed. City conflicts of interest prohibitions on nepotism forced Adams to significantly curtail his brother’s responsibilities and pay him only a nominal salary of $1 for overseeing his personal security.

Another of Adams’s longtime friends from the police department, Tim Pearson, was quietly handed a $242,000 role at the city’s Economic Development Corporation overseeing public safety and Covid-19 initiatives.

At the start of his tenure, Adams brought on the longtime counsel for the Brooklyn Democratic party, Frank Carone, as his chief of staff, and later gave a $190,000 job to the husband of party chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, who had staunchly backed Adams’s mayoral candidacy.

The Adams administration has also brought on at least half a dozen former city council members who had endorsed his mayoral run – one of whom, department of buildings commissioner Eric Ulrich, recently resigned amid a federal probe into alleged organized crime and illegal gambling, according to the New York Times.

In his budget, Adams found enough cash to increase police spending but not enough to help schools retain student support, arts, and music programs. Funding that supports students’ futures and educators’ livelihoods shouldn’t be cut — especially not now, as our city emerges from the trauma of the pandemic.

When it was introduced three years ago, the Internet Master Plan’s creators calculated that about 1.5 million people, disproportionately the poorest New Yorkers, lacked both a home and mobile internet connection. About 3.4 million were going without at least one of those, at the time.

Many more only have one or two providers to choose from, locking them into expensive or subpar plans. One of those providers, Verizon, was sued by the city in 2017 for not installing fiber optic internet on time.

In the summer of 2020, spurred by the COVID-19 crisis, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio diverted $87 million from the NYPD’s budget to fund the next phase of the plan — a $157 million effort that would bring $15-a-month internet service to 600,000 New Yorkers in neighborhoods hit hard by the pandemic.

Then, in September, Adams announced an entirely different plan, called Big Apple Connect, that would give NYCHA residents free internet access for three years. (It’s not clear if the program will be extended or simply end after that, meaning residents could have to start paying for internet again.) Over that period, the initiative would cost about $90 million, city officials told lawmakers, and would be administered by Altice and Charter, two of the massive cable companies that already dominate much of the city’s broadband landscape.
