Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul’s ability to execute a shared vision will face its biggest test as they seek to enact a sweeping legislative agenda to stimulate the economic recovery of the nation’s largest city in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic
NEW YORK — Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams have repeatedly said they can always count on one thing: each other.
Doing so will require cooperation from the more liberal leanings of the state Legislature and City Council that hasn’t always seen eye-to-eye with its respective executives on major issues of policy. But Hochul and Adams are banking that a unified approach will move the needle on a number of top items from changes to the state’s controversial laws ending cash bail to a rapid increase in housing development in a state controlled entirely by Democrats.
But several people close to Hochul and Adams said in interviews that 2023 will be a pivotal moment for the two to move ahead on areas of alignment years away from their respective reelection. Adams, whohis first year in office, is making early moves to advance top initiatives on housing and public safety ahead of the official state budget process. And Hochul has city voters to thank for winning her first term in November — the closest governor’s race in the state since 1994.
Both Hochul and Adams have set massive targets for housing development, amid a shortage that has significantly increased rents and the cost of buying a home.
