“Can you ask the comptroller to show you the letter he wrote to the federal government asking for help for us?” Adams fumed during a news conference at City Hall.
“Can you get him on his cell phone, speakerphone and say, ‘Can you send us the letter that you sent to the federal government saying: Help New York City? Or send us a tweet or do an Instagram post with a sign?'”
Hizzoner’s ire was sparked by a statement in which DiNapoli faulted Adams’ proposed $102.7 billion budget for fiscal 2024 because it doesn’t “reflect the anticipated recurring costs associated with asylum seekers, which remains one of a number risks the city will have to grapple with.” Adams added: “So, I need help. And that was one of the No. 1 things I said to all my colleagues: I need you to join me in telling the federal government: New York taxpayers don’t deserve this.”
