Mayoral challengers split on how to oust Eric Adams

Mayoral challengers split on how to oust Eric Adams
SHARE

In the midst of turmoil at City Hall, two top candidates vying to unseat Mayor Eric Adams in the upcoming election have put forth differing plans to remove him from office. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is leading the charge, demanding that Adams present a plan to ensure the continued functioning of government following the resignation of four deputy mayors on Monday. Lander has even threatened to convene a committee that could potentially remove the mayor if he is not satisfied with Adams’ proposed stabilization plan.

On the other hand, rival candidate Scott Stringer has criticized Lander’s approach, labeling it as a bureaucratic mess that will likely lead to no tangible results. Stringer, a former city comptroller, held his own press conference to call on Governor Kathy Hochul to initiate the process of removing Adams from office, dismissing Lander’s plan as impractical.

Lander, in his press conference, emphasized the unprecedented leadership vacuum at City Hall and stressed the need for a solid plan to address future challenges and crises. He advocated for Adams’ resignation, which would trigger the temporary appointment of Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, a longtime political ally of the mayor. Lander expressed hope that this move would prompt the deputy mayors to reconsider their resignations.

If Adams fails to present a satisfactory plan by Friday, Lander plans to convene an “inability committee,” comprising five city officials, including himself, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, Corporation Counsel Muriel Goode-Trufant, and a deputy mayor designated by Adams. The committee would assess whether Adams is unfit to carry out his duties as mayor.

However, the likelihood of removing Adams from office through this process remains uncertain. The City Charter stipulates that four out of the five committee members must declare the mayor unfit for his role, followed by a two-thirds majority vote in the council to oust him. Speaker Adams pointed out that the committee was intended for instances of physical or mental incapacity, which does not apply to the current situation.

Despite the calls for Adams’ removal, his allies argue that such actions would undermine the democratic process. Over 200 religious leaders have urged Governor Hochul to proceed with caution and respect the rights of the people to decide the mayor’s fate. Adams’ supporters maintain that removing a duly elected official would set a dangerous precedent.

As the political drama unfolds, Adams’ deputy mayors, who tendered their resignations, reported to work at City Hall on Tuesday, demonstrating their continued commitment to their duties. The situation remains fluid as stakeholders on all sides weigh their options and consider the implications of their actions.

With the fate of Mayor Adams hanging in the balance, the political landscape in New York City remains tense and uncertain, as candidates and officials navigate the complex process of potentially removing the city’s leader from office.
