It's been nearly one year since Eric Adams first walked into City Hall as the Big Apple's new mayor, and in the 12 ensuing months he has had to contend with a barrage of crises, while simultaneously working to establish his vision for the city.
“Eric did not get what I felt was dangerousness, that’s the only thing people can point to in Albany and say that we did not get it,” the mayor said, referring to himself. “I worked in Albany for seven years, you don’t walk away from Albany with everything you want. I had a successful run in Albany last year.”
“The legislature and the mayor have always been contentious, historically,” Sheinkopf said. “So it’s not surprising that he did not get the dangerousness standard. And it won’t be surprising if he doesn’t get the bail reform he wants.”The mayor has also placed great emphasis on reinvigorating the city’s economy after the COVID-19 pandemic left it in shambles – another area where he’s seen mixed results., the city has recovered 97.2% of its pre-pandemic private-sector jobs.
When it comes to Adams’ economic policies, Parrott applauded the mayor’s successful effort pushing the state legislature to increase the city’s Earned Income Tax Credit by $250 million. “There’s people visiting from around the globe, speaking every language, dining out at restaurants, going out to bars,” Rigie said. “You see them in Midtown and lower Manhattan and other neighborhoods. So it’s a much better place than we were, but we are going to need ongoing investment from the Adams administration to make sure that we get people back to New York City for the holidays, for conventions, for everyday tourism.
