Mayor Adams shuttled back and forth to a series of private meetings with state lawmakers on Monday. The visit was preceded by tensions with Democratic leaders in the Assembly and Senate who have criticized parts of Adams' plan to reduce crime across NYC.

Mayor Eric Adams speaks with Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins during Adams' first visit to Albany as mayor.Mayor Eric Adams speaks with Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins during Adams' first visit to Albany as mayor.Eric Adams said he hadn’t stepped foot in the state Capitol since 2013, when he wrapped up his seven-year stint in the Senate, representing central Brooklyn.

The mayor didn’t walk away with any legislative deals; that wasn’t the point of the meetings, he told reporters. But he sought to highlight what he viewed as the positive nature of the discussions, making the case for his legislative agenda in Albany even though a major piece – scaling back recent reforms to bail laws – has been opposed by top legislative Democrats.

In 2019, state lawmakers and then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo passed a series of reforms that prevented judges from implementing cash bail requirements for most misdemeanors and violent felonies. On Monday, however, Adams and the legislative leaders stood shoulder-to-shoulder in a show of Democratic unity after they met for a half hour in private.

In 2012, GovKathyHochul was RATED “A” by NRA for opposing federal gun control. In 2016, 74% of guns used in NY crimes came from states with weaker gun laws. In 2022, Hochul says she can control crime with state gun control. Can NYCMayor trust Hochul?

Same rotten NYC Mayor as per the norm. Each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, as per Tolstoy. FYI to Mayor Adams: many more people voted for the various Assembly & State Senate elected officials than him & prob also as a % of possible voters as well as actual votes.

Remember that time ericadamsfornyc voted against AndreaSCousins from becoming leader of the senate? And that time he supported a domestic abuser over her objections?

Bridge blocked by anti-vaccine mandate protests may reopen Sunday, mayor saysThe bridge in Canada where thousands of semitruck drivers have camped out in a protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates may reopen Sunday night, according to officials. The blockade of commercial trailers on the Ambassador Bridge, which connects the city of Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, ended peacefully Sunday with no violence after police described many protesters exhibiting 'aggressive, illegal behavior' on Saturday, Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens told ABC News. Authorities now have the bridge under control after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Ontario Provincial Police and Ottawa Police Service responded to the volatile scene on Saturday, where several hundred protesters planted themselves about 100 feet from the foot of the entry to the bridge, even as all of the trucks left the scene throughout the day in the face of a police crackdown.
