The feud between Mayor Eric Adams and the Council Speaker Adrienne Adams hit new heights this week, despite the smiles and pleasantries exchanged at the mayor’s annual State of the City address. The two sides of City Hall are clashing over two controversial pieces of legislation – including one called the “How Many Stops” Act which requires more record-keeping by cops on the beat. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena discuss the clash, including the City Council’s vow to override the mayor’s veto of the bill.
After that, the mayor temporarily put aside the infighting and delivered his third State of the City address in the Bronx on Wednesday. The speech promised more affordable housing and new jobs while playing down the migrant crisis and the city’s issues with crime. The mayor highlighted his accomplishments over the last twelve months, claiming the city was “back from the brink.” The “Off Topic” team looks at the mayor's agenda and whether his positivity is justified.
