Subject: Re: Biden Snubs Mayor Adans
LM asserts in her snip from the NY Post: “Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday that he’s baffled he can’t get a meeting with the White House to talk about the Big Apple’s burgeoning migrant crisis — even as thousands of asylum seekers arrive in the city every week.

“The federal government said to New York City: ‘We’re not going to do our job — you do our job. You take care of 4,000 people a week, Eric, you and your team,'” Adams said at a press conference.

“Those who should have been helping us in government — every step of the way, [they] just critiqued us,” he lamented. “I’m not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel from the federal government.”

But if LM had bothered to think back to the day in early November that the FBI entered his campaign manager's apartment and seized her records/computer/cell phone, Adams got this news when he had JUST landed at the DC airport to attend a meeting with the White House and several other mayors to discuss the migrant crisis. And instead of attending this critical meeting and then rushing back to NYC, he abandoned the meeting and had his plane fly him right back to NYC.

"New York City Mayor Eric Adams abruptly canceled meetings in Washington, D.C. where he was planning to meet with a group of mayors from the largest U.S. cities and the White House regarding the ongoing migrant crisis. Adams arrived in Washington and then shortly thereafter was back on a plane to New York City."

AND.....even LM's beloved NYPost accurately reported on this at the time:
"Mayor Eric Adams abruptly called off his Thursday morning trip to Washington, DC, where he was expected to meet with White House officials over the worsening migrant crisis.

Adams was slated to join Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to hold talks with “senior White House officials” behind closed doors — but minutes before the meeting, the Big Apple mayor canceled his entire schedule at the nation’s capital, which included meetings on Capitol Hill over the crisis.

A City Hall spokesman, Charles Lutvak, didn’t disclose what caused the mayor’s last-minute return to NYC, only saying that “he is coming back to deal with a matter.”

And in addition......despite Adams' regularly blaming everyone else for the damaging impact that the migrant influx is having here, it appears that much of it would have been avoided if Adams and his administration had taken sensible preventive measures (like assigning case managers to new migrants as they arrive, to determine their needs and enable them to be in the records and reachable), and not made moves that makes things worse (like no-bid contracts to service providers who doubled their fees and abused migrants in addition). The NYTimes just did a deep investigation of the entire situation, and it is quite damning.
