"No matter what Mayor Adams decides to do in the coming days - or what other people may do to him - Gov. Hochul will have to start pulling double shifts: her day job, and acting as New York City's de facto mayor."
"In any case, New York is effectively, and indefinitely, mayor-less. Jumaane Williams, the city's lefty public advocate, would take over if Adams leaves - but Williams has never managed anything."
"And Hochul does have powers she can wield to the city's benefit. For example, she can step in to relieve our migrant crisis. We're hosting 61,700 migrants in city shelters, costing taxpayers $4.7 billion this year."
"Hochul has preferred to throw money at the problem rather than take responsibility, but she could instead push for legislation to hem in this court-declared right: Who is eligible for shelter, how long they can stay, and in what conditions."
