With New Yorkers giving him a thumbs down, Hizzoner heads to D.C.
Manage episode 388280237 series 2406578
After aborting his trip to Washington last month because of a fundraising investigation, Mayor Eric Adams returned to the nation’s capital this week to ask for help in the migrant crisis.
The trip came as a new Quinnipiac University poll showed that the mayor's approval numbers have fallen to 28%, the lowest for any NYC mayor since the poll began in 1996. But what do the poll numbers really mean? NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, and NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza, and Dan Rivoli discuss yet another chaotic week for Adams.
After that, the MTA board has approved a tentative long-discussed congestion pricing plan that will toll drivers who come into much of Manhattan. The “Off Topic” team takes a detailed look at the plan, which is in a four-month public comment period. They also discuss how this will affect New Yorkers in so-called transit deserts.
