“I’m very public. Everybody knows where I am,” Adams said during an unrelated press conference Tuesday, which was slated to address the city transportation department’s next phase in its “war on rats.” The mayor stressed that all his meetings would be on his public schedule. “You guys know where I am all the time. We release if we’re going to be with the president or not.”

“President Biden’s coming to the city,” Adams added, “I am hoping that he understands this beautiful city that’s the economic engine of the entire country is being saddled with $2 billion that we spent already, $5 billion we’re going to spend in this fiscal crisis, $12 billion in the next two budgetary cycles. New York doesn’t deserve this. The asylum seekers don’t deserve this.”
