The unexpected resignation of four senior officials in Mayor Eric Adams’ administration has drawn the attention of Governor Kathy Hochul, who has summoned key leaders to meet with her in Manhattan on Tuesday.
The decision comes just hours after Deputy Mayors Maria Torres-Springer, Anne Williams-Isom, Meera Joshi, and Chauncey Parker stepped down from their roles.
Clearly, the democrats are doing everything they can to prevent President Trump from deporting the most violent illegal migrant criminals in NYC, and the only way they can stop him at this point, is to throw Mayor Adams out of office.
In a statement released Monday night, Hochul says she spoke with Torres-Springer and expressed gratitude for her years of service to New York City.
The statement reads: “Since taking office in 2021, I’ve done everything possible to partner with the City of New York under the leadership of two different mayors. We’ve worked together to fight crime on the streets and subways, close illegal cannabis shops and build more housing through ‘City of Yes’. Bickering between State and City officials is a waste of time and I refuse to go back to the days where our constituents are caught in the crossfire of political turf wars.
“Earlier today I spoke with First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer to express my gratitude for her years of service to New York City. She, along with Deputy Mayors Anne Williams-Isom, Meera Joshi and Chauncey Parker, have been strong partners with my Administration across dozens of key issues. If they feel unable to serve in City Hall at this time, that raises serious questions about the long-term future of this Mayoral administration.
“I recognize the immense responsibility I hold as governor and the constitutional powers granted to this office. In the 235 years of New York State history, these powers have never been utilized to remove a duly-elected mayor; overturning the will of the voters is a serious step that should not be taken lightly. That said, the alleged conduct at City Hall that has been reported over the past two weeks is troubling and cannot be ignored. Tomorrow, I have asked key leaders to meet me at my Manhattan office for a conversation about the path forward, with the goal of ensuring stability for the City of New York.
“Let me be clear: my most urgent concern is the well-being of my 8.3 million constituents who live in New York City. I will be monitoring this situation extraordinarily closely to ensure that New Yorkers are not being shortchanged by the current crisis in City government.”
Hochul plans to have one-on-one meetings with high-ranking New York City officials throughout the day, including Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Comptroller Brad Landers, sources say.

In the very short term, Hochel can get points with her fellow “lefties” by kicking out Adams. HOWEVER, such a move will likely boomerang as overly partisan, and will likely guarantee her defeat when she runs for reelection
Wouldn’t this be terrible since next in line would be Jumaane Williams who is as left wing radical as they come?
There is practically no doubt that the looney dems will fire Adams to stick it to trump
No doubt about it.
Not only would she “own” whatever mischief the new mayor gets into for the next 10 months, but she would be issuing a dare to Adams to run as Republican (either for Mayor, Governor or Lt. Governor). Adams will have to make a case that the criminal charges were politically motivated and not based on law (they come down to a quid pro quo received as Brooklyn Boro President to do something in the future when he was became Mayor, which is a stretch).
Will the real dictator please stand up!
Democrats never learn. When trump was at his lowest in popularity they turned him into a martyr and breathed life into his lifeless election hopes. And now they do the same to Adams. This will only guarantee that Adams will win again. Voters, above everything else, will always punish those that attempt to strip them of their ballot.
How can we throw bail reform/congestion pricing Kathy Hochul out of office?

Only 3 people hochul ners to fire are:- 1) bragg; 2) merchan; 3) hochul.

1) There shall be civil riots from the שחורים
2) What goes around comes around and shall haunt & hurt her for all time.
Dump her as well .And Kingda Ka is right …if Williams gets to take the reins , Wow is to us !!!!
Is this another monarchy? Don’t we, the electorate, “the people” mentioned in the constitution, get to voice our opinion? How can this be allowed without putting it up to the people to decide? I guess the Democrats, with all their corruption, still control something.
So now the Democrats, who spent the last four years saying that Trump tried to overturn an election, will actually overturn an election. Removing Adams from office over unproven allegations will be setting a very bad precedent for the general removal of elected officials. The reasons given for removing him are baloney, there isn’t a chance in the world that Hochul would consider removing Adams if he were to be replaced by a Republican.
