New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ relationship with the White House may have soured, but he still has a friend in Gov. Kathy Hochul. Adams and Hochul will hold a press conference in Brooklyn on Monday to push for expedited work permits for asylum seekers, a top priority for the city that has taken in more than 70,000 of them in the last year. The demonstrated front comes at a critical time for the mayor, who is getting iced out in Washington over his repeated criticism of how the federal government is handling the migrant crisis. President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign dropped Adams as a national surrogate, and The New York Times reported this weekend that White House aides and officials view his critiques as opportunistic at a politically important time. This hasn’t altered Adams’ approach, who in a Sunday MSNBC interview faulted the Biden administration for not providing more federal funding to the city. He has estimated the surge in asylum seekers will total $4.3 billion, though budget watchdogs dispute that figure. The cost of sheltering migrants has been cited as the reason for proposed spending reductions across New York City agencies — the subject of several Council hearings this week. Education advocates will rally on Monday in Manhattan to oppose cuts that include the planned expansion of the city’s free 3-K program. “This is not sustainable for us, and we believe this is not right for the people of this city,” Adams told MSNBC. IT’S MONDAY. WHERE’S KATHY? Speaking with the mayor in Brooklyn before traveling back upstate to make an economic development announcement in Kingston. WHERE’S ERIC? Speaking with the governor, as mentioned, before delivering remarks at a flag-raising ceremony for Croatia in the Financial District. In the evening he’ll host a community conversation in the Bronx.

“Democrats’ Phalanx Around Biden Has an Eric Adams-Size Hole,” by The New York Times’ Reid J. Epstein, Dana Rubinstein and Zolan Kanno-Youngs: “The recent schism comes as Republicans make Mr. Biden’s immigration policy central to their efforts to dislodge him in 2024. After many Democratic candidates last year successfully used abortion rights against their Republican opponents, Mr. Biden’s nascent campaign would prefer that his allies stay on message — something Mr. Adams has shown scant willingness to do, despite once calling himself ‘the Biden of Brooklyn.’” — “Suffolk County pursuing legal action to stop migrants arriving from New York City,” by WNYC’s Giulia Heyward “Where in the world is Antonio Delgado? Lt. Gov. not a big factor in Hochul’s battles,” by Times Union’s Joshua Solomon: “It is far from unusual for these political partners to operate in what can feel like parallel universes. But based on interviews with Albany insiders, Delgado’s distance from the Capitol’s political fray has been noticed.” — “I feel that a lot of folks are detached from government,” Delgado said in a wide-ranging Spectrum News interview Sunday.

“Daniel Penny, charged in Jordan Neely death, breaks silence: ‘I am not a white supremacist,’” by New York Post’s Dana Kennedy: “Ex-Marine Daniel Penny insisted to The Post Saturday that the chokehold killing of Jordan Neely had nothing to do with race — and everything to do with a broken system ‘that so desperately failed us.’” “2024 Republican hopefuls rush to defend Marine who put NYC subway rider in fatal chokehold,” by Associated Press’ Will Weissert: “He’s already become a hero to many Republicans, who have trumpeted Penny as a Good Samaritan moving to protect others in a Democrat-led city that they say is unsafe — even though criminal justice experts say current crime levels are more comparable to where New York was a decade ago, when people frequently lauded it as America’s safest big city.” “Can Mayor Adams manage a crisis? Migrant arrivals pose a major test,” by WNYC’s Elizabeth Kim: “Crises are often said to be defining moments for New York City mayors, as they provide an opportunity to show leadership and effective policymaking. Adams’ predecessor Bill de Blasio won praise for managing the city’s vaccination effort during the pandemic, and before him, Michael Bloomberg was credited with shepherding the city’s economic recovery and the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan after 9/11.” —“Ex-Rep. Max Rose joins Eric Adams’ pal Frank Carone’s consulting firm,” by New York Post’s Bernadette Hogan and Carl Campanile

| A message from the Seneca Nation: Safe, affordable housing for all is a priority issue in New York. For generations of Senecas, the dream of owning their own home was kept beyond their reach because banks would not grant traditional mortgages on the Seneca Nation’s sovereign territory. This left most Seneca families virtually no path to buying houses on the lands they call home. The Seneca Nation helped remove this barrier and made the dream of home ownership a reality. Using gaming revenues, the Seneca Nation created a Nation-funded mortgage program. Since 2005, more than 300 mortgages have given Seneca individuals and families the opportunity to live among family, friends, and community. Along with the mortgage program, the Nation has improved housing stock and programs on its territories. A fair and equitable gaming Compact is critical to continue meeting the Nation’s growing housing needs. Let New York’s leaders know that you #StandWithSeneca. Visit StandWithSeneca.com today. |
