New York Gov. Kathy Hochul slams Mayor Adams’ migrant response in 12-page letter
Fox News
Lawyers for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul sent New York City Mayor Eric Adams a letter Tuesday criticizing his administration's handling of the migration crisis.
"The city can and should do more to act in a proactive and collaborative manner with the state," read the letter, which was first obtained by The New York Times. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
The state reminded Adams of the nearly $1.5 billion in financial support for the city and said it will continue to provide significant financial assistance for support.
"The migrant crisis has been extremely costly and will continue to require significant financial resources," the letter said. "Neither the City nor the State should have to absorb these operational needs or costs for what is a matter of federal concern." The state also questioned management of funds by the city's main subcontractor, and the city's decision to allow migrants to sleep on the street outside the Roosevelt Hotel.
