100th day in office. To say Adams took office at a difficult time would be an understatement.
The city is still battling COVID, there's rising gun violence and increasing homelessness. But while many of those metrics have yet to improve, the mayor said he's laid down the foundation for change, CBS2's Christina Fan reported.New York CityWhen CBS2 political reporter Marcia Kramer asked how his life changed since taking the oath of office on January 1, Adams said it wasn't the type of problem, but the number.
"The volume is a lot, every day, all day. No more drinking out of a garden hose. You're drinking out of a fire hose," Adams said.His worst? When NYPD officers Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora were killed and Adams met their families at the hospital. "It was just so painful. I remember walking into the room and watching the faces and, you know, sometimes pain reaches an intensity point then it starts to dissipate. In that hospital, never dissipated. It just stayed at the level of pain and it was hard, it was hard," Adams said.
When asked it he would rehire those who lost their jobs, especially cops, firefighters and emergency medical personnel, Adams firmly said,"No."The mayor is busy planning for his next 100 days. Soon, he plans to give a major address to New Yorkers that will lay out the scope of the city's problems and what his office plans to do.
