This week, Mayor Eric Adams came under fire for praising prayer in schools and criticizing the separation of church and state. “When I walk, I walk with God. When I talk, I talk with God. When I put policies in place, I put them in with a God-like approach to them,” Adams said at a breakfast with religious leaders. NY1’s Zack Fink, Courtney Gross and Juan Manuel Benítez weighed in on the mayor’s remarks.
After that, turmoil continues in the FDNY as Commissioner Laura Kavanagh is facing a lawsuit from four top chiefs. The lawsuit claims that Kavanagh unfairly demoted three chief officers and is putting New York City at risk. The team discussed Kavanagh’s fraught tenure and what it really means regarding public safety.
We want to hear from you, especially what you think of the turmoil within the FDNY.
