Governor Kathy Hochul has answered the toughest question in New York politics — she will not remove Mayor Eric Adams from office. “My strong belief is that the will of the voters and the supremacy and sanctity of democratic elections preclude me from any other action,” she said.

Hochul unveiled a new plan that would expand Albany’s oversight of the mayor’s office. But lawmakers would have to approve it.

Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York announced that she will not remove Mayor Eric Adams at this time but will seek to increase state supervision of New York City’s affairs.
