Adams has demanded more financial help to deal with the city’s flood of migrants from the US’ southern border, as well as for the MTA.
to deal with the city’s flood of migrants from the US’ southern border, as well as for the MTA.
“The mayor is happy to be back in Albany talking about many of New York City’s priorities with a multitude of lawmakers today,” Adams spokesman Fabien Levy told The Post.The Dem mayor wants the state to pick up much of the tab for accommodating the tens of thousands of migrantsThe city’s ultimate two-year tab, ending by the middle of next year, is projected to exceed $4 billion.
Meanwhile, with the MTA facing fiscal catastrophe, Hochul is also pushing for New York City to contribute $500 million more to the agency each year – an idea that Adams opposes, given the gloomy forecasts for city finances in upcoming years. “That is too much money to be part of New York City’s budget. New York City has taken a hit, and what is even more troubling, no other municipality in the state is being asked to make that contribution to the MTA system,”
It remains unclear whether Adams will push progressive lawmakers to back Hochul’s proposed change to bail reform — to give judges more discretion — as crime roils the Big Apple.
