In a wide-ranging interview on CBS2, Mayor Adams teased a major announcement on subway safety and repeated his calls to the federal government for help in the migrant crisis. JohnBDias reports.
"The subway safety plan is moving our system in the right direction. I always stated that it was going to be a while before people go from what they felt to what they're feeling as we deal with those average of six felonies a day that we see in our subway system," said Adams. The mayor also spoke on how he plans to help New Yorkers access affordable housing and fight crime, including creating a"most wanted" list.
"We identified 1,700 people who are repeated offenders. These are just bad people. They commit a crime, they're arrested, they come out, they commit another crime while out on trial," said Adams. The mayor also addressed the migrant crisis and the need for more funds from the federal government. "We have a Congress, particularly the Republicans in Congress, that refuse to deal with real, comprehensive immigration reform," said Adams."We're receiving a disproportionate number of migrants in the city, and it has really impacted the basic services of our city and we need an immediate response by the federal government.
