I respect his decision and I wish him well, Adamssaidof the police chiefs decision to step down.

Adams himself has not escaped the interest of federal authorities.

I say over and over again, as a former member of law enforcement, Im very clear.

We follow the rules.

The alleged list has been a document of interest in authorities investigation into Adams.

For some local lawmakers, enough is enough.

On Friday, Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher wrote on X that New York City deserves a new mayor.

A corny attitude is not real charisma, not when hes actively harming everyone in our city.

The good news is we dont have to wait the mayor should resign, she added.

Time to step aside and allow for new leadership.

In a Monday statement, Queens City Councilmember Tiffany Cabanwrotethat Adams leads with corruption and mismanagement.

At least 15 of his associates are under investigation.

New Yorkers deserve better.
