Mayor Eric Adams pressed Gov. Kathy Hochul face-to-face Tuesday in Albany for action on a slew of hot-button issues, including expanding the city’s powers to remove mentally ill New Yorkers from public spaces, The Post has learned.
The poobahs huddled for an hour inside Hochul’s second-floor capitol office, where Adams’ to-do list also covered changing a controversial evidence law and implementing a tax break for low-income families, sources said.
Adams also spoke with Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins in his push to lobby state lawmakers for New York City goodies.
“What I was pleased with was the governor and the speaker both took the posture of what I’ve been saying is we need to put the money back in the pockets of working-class people,” Adams said during an interview with the Post Editorial Board later Tuesday.
