Eric Adams clapped back after city Comptroller Brad Lander criticized his weekend trip to the southern US border and said it wouldn’t help the city secure emergency aid.
Eric Adams spoke out against city Comptroller Brad Lander over his remarks about the mayor’s El Paso trip.“The people of this city have been going through this for months — for months — and his first communication was, you know, a week or so ago,” Adams fumed. “He’s the comptroller. He should be concerned about our fiscal stability.”
Adams also said Lander’s answer was to “raise taxes on rich people to pay for migrant asylum-seekers,” which the mayor has warned will accelerate the flight of wealthy residents from the Big Apple. “I mean, you’re the comptroller. You should be concerned about the financial hit our city is seeing,” Hizzoner said. “And he should be writing letters with me and going to DC. I don’t know — I don’t know if he actually went to DC at all to advocate for money.”But the Mayor’s trip to Texas does little to deliver the $$ NYC needs to provide shelter & services.— Brad Lander
