City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams blasts Mayor Adams' wavering commitment to shut down Rikers Island by 2027.
The deadline was established by City Council legislation signed into law by former Mayor Bill de Blasio in 2019.
But in a contract notice published this week, Adams’ administration revealed it does not expect a replacement jail in Brooklyn to be completed before 2029.
That admission prompted city politicians to question how the city will close Rikers.
“Any other committee member could chair the hearing, but the speaker chose to do it herself because the close Rikers issue is a priority for her,” an aide to the speaker said. With Graham Rayman.
