City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams on Wednesday blasted Mayor Eric Adams’ (no relation) directive late last month for first responders and health care workers to start involuntarily hospitalizing people who appear severely mentally ill on city streets and in the subways, charging it’s “an idea” without a truly “comprehensive plan.”
“We are still waiting for a full comprehensive plan when it comes to the rollout, as [far as] a couple of weeks ago when the rollout was presented,” Speaker Adams said during an unrelated press conference Wednesday afternoon.
