(John McCarten/NYC Council Media Unit)The feud between City Hall and the City Council reached new heights this week, as the Adams administration declined to send agency representatives to two City Council hearings, inflaming councilmembers who hoped to get answers about the administration’s response to Trump’s budget cuts and a proposed housing project in the Bronx.
“The Adams administration has always taken decisive action whenever federal funds were reduced or at risk under both the current and previous federal administrations,” a spokesperson for City Hall told City Limits when asked about the absences.
A spokesperson for City Hall pointed out that Diane Savino and Tiffany Raspberry, two Adams administration officials, did testify later in the hearing on Just Home.
Before Monday’s hearing, tenants rallied outside City Hall to call attention to Medicaid cuts and expiring funding for emergency housing vouchers under the Trump administration.
