New York Governor Kathy Hochul is not exercising her power to remove Mayor Eric Adams but will instead propose measures for increased state oversight of his administration due to ongoing controversies. This includes appointing a new state deputy inspector general to monitor city dealings, pending some legislative approvals. As Adams seeks re-election amidst legal issues and ties to the Trump administration, critics express concern over his legitimacy as mayor. Hochul's decision reflects pressure from within the Democratic Party regarding Adams' leadership amid allegations of corruption.
It's a major victory for Adams at a time when controversy linked to federal corruption charges and his growing ties to the Trump administration have embroiled city hall.
Hochul herself issued a statement saying 'alleged conduct at City Hall that has been reported over the past two weeks is troubling and cannot be ignored.'
