Public Advocate needs to step up pressure.


Edited: I was wrong. It is just that bad. Kathy Hochul will pull Eric Adams

ask for an emergency mayoral election???

have an emergency election.

That was uncalled for.
A pooper-scooper for that piece of shit. Too crude.
A pimple popper for that boil. Ewww.
A trash bag for that inventor of sidewalk trash cans. Much better...

Most places don't allow a governor to oust an elected official.

Job Bush removed Orlando mayor Buddy Dyer for campaign violations but he was quickly reinstated when the charges were dropped.

The DOJ just dropped those charges, so could he still be removed with no crime now charged? On the other hand, a few places say he could be removed regardless of whether he's charged or not. I can't find a definitive answer. Does anyone have link that explicitly says removal is a possibility now?

That's a lil different than a dismissal with prejudice.

But for now, he is not charged with a crime. I don't think she would remove Adams regardless even though she should.

Also, the justification for dropping them is to enforce immigration laws. If he is removed, the stated justification for dropping charges evaporates.

That means they can be resurrected at any time.

That's a tough one. On the one hand, innocent until proven guilty. On the other, it would be a bare-knuckle political move during an unusual time. The problem is precedent. It might be symbolically bad to do that.

One other argument for doing it is that he is a tool to enforce a policy that she in theory opposes.

trmp probably has a place for him.

If he violated Federal laws he probably also violated State of NY charges, or even Local or city laws.
