thx. see #20. i wouldn’t have guessed that an ‘accountant’ would have the power to remove an elected official, let alone a mayor.

I doubt the comptroller can remove the mayor.

The governor definitely can.

[T.B. Yoits]

I don't think the Comptroller (referred to as CFO on their website) has the authority to remove the mayor.

If New York City CFO Brad Lander had evidence of malfeasance by the mayor (or anyone else), he should have already blown the whistle.

The New York Post reports that Governor Hochul has the authority to remove Adams from office.

[Nextrush]

Governor Kathy Hochul meeting with officials tomorrow and she does have authority to remove Adams according to the New York Post.

thx for clarification. headline is probably fake news then. just some comptroller trolling by Brad the rat (sorry for the pun). wonder if he’s running for mayor?

When less than 24% of eligible NYC voters cast a ballot they deserve what they get.

New York City teachers, cops and firefighters lost nearly $30 million in pension funds tied to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.

Critics accuse Comptroller Brad Lander, who is custodian of the pension systems, of favoring the “woke” bank over shareholders.

Five city pension funds had a total of $41,867,214 invested in the doomed bank as of Jan. 31, according to data provided by the comptroller’s office under a Freedom of Information request by The Post. . .

Abe Beam was Comptroller who got elected Mayor. Shortly after, NYC went bankrupt.
