Hizzoner, who earlier this week blasted the White House for turning its back on NYC, sounded the alarm on the multibillion-dollar cost to the Big Apple budget during a visit Friday to Washington, DC, where he plans to press the administration for federal aid.
“The city is being destroyed by the migrant crisis,” a distressed Adams said before his scheduled meeting, during a panel discussion hosted by the African American Mayors Association.
He also took aim at other elected Big Apple officials in his remarks, saying: “And none of my folks came to Washington, DC, to fight for the resources that’s going to undermine every agency in our city.”
[Wait — wasn’t Adams promoting the Big Apple as a sanctuary city last year? Isn’t this what he wanted? — Ed]
