Hochul’s careful conversations

Governor Kathy Hochul is currently managing a challenging situation as Mayor Eric Adams faces a five-count federal indictment on fraud and bribery charges. It has fallen to Hochul to navigate this delicate moment, both publicly and behind the scenes.

Hochul has made it clear to Adams that he should cut ties with individuals in his administration who are under legal scrutiny. This week, Tim Pearson, a key member of Adams’ team, resigned, and Schools Chancellor David Banks, whose phone was seized in an FBI raid, is leaving his position earlier than planned.

Adams stated to reporters that Banks’ early departure was partly to ensure a smooth transition for incoming Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos, but also as a result of discussions with other leaders. Hochul, who has built a strong working relationship with Adams over the past few years, has emphasized the importance of stability in city governance.

As the first western New York native to hold the governor’s office in a century, Hochul has become more deeply involved in New York’s political landscape since taking office in 2015. She has been working with Adams to ensure that key positions are filled by responsible individuals, signaling that changes are underway.

Despite calls from some good-government advocates for more aggressive action, Hochul is focused on maintaining stability and governance in the city. Her approach has been characterized as encouraging Adams to take action rather than cleaning house herself.

In a separate development, State Assemblymember Eddie Gibbs was detained by the NYPD in his East Harlem district. Witnesses reported that Gibbs was arrested during a traffic stop involving his brother and an unregistered vehicle. The incident drew a significant police response, but details surrounding the arrest remain unclear.

Meanwhile, outgoing Schools Chancellor David Banks revealed that Mayor Adams forced him to resign earlier than planned, exposing a rift between the two longtime friends. Banks confirmed that he had intended to stay until December 31st but will now leave in mid-October at the mayor’s behest.

In another development, Jesse Hamilton, a close ally of Mayor Adams responsible for managing the city government’s real estate portfolio, had his phone seized by criminal investigators upon returning from a trip to Japan. This adds Hamilton to the list of high-ranking Adams appointees caught up in ongoing criminal investigations.

As these events unfold, Hochul continues to navigate the complex relationship between state and city leadership, working to ensure stability and responsible governance in New York City.
