Former city Comptroller and mayoral candidate Scott Stringer is raising alarm bells about Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed guardrails for Mayor Eric Adams, warning in a Friday letter that the measures “risk complicating” city government and setting “problematic precedents” for the state exerting its influence over the city.
In his missive, Stringer commended Hochul for attempting to reign in Adams’ authority. This follows a former Manhattan US Attorney’s accusations that the mayor’s attorney made a deal with President Trump’s DOJ to do the administration’s bidding in exchange for dropping his corruption case. Adams, his attorney, and top DOJ officials have all denied the accusations from the former federal prosecutor, Danielle Sassoon.
