After the bombshell indictment of Eric Adams by a federal grand jury, New York City’s powerful business community is scrambling to figure out how to deal with the real possibility of a socialist taking over City Hall.
Business titans are said to be terrified at the prospect of Jumaane Williams, the left-wing, anti-cop Public Advocate running the city if Adams is either forced to resign or removed by Gov. Kathy Hochul amid the corruption scandal that has engulfed his mayoralty.
“This is scary stuff,” one top business leader told the Post.
As the prospect grows, The Post has learned that Kathryn Wylde, president of the Partnership for New York, has reached out to Williams to set up a meeting to discuss what he will face if he becomes mayor.
“The partnership wants to help out, that’s what it does,” said one person with knowledge of the matter.
The conversation will likely include “what’s at stake if he blows up the city government, all the projects that stand in the balance, roads, bridges, jobs and the police that demand a functioning city government, not some crazy alternative,” this person added,
Wylde declined to provide a comment. Williams didn’t reply to an email for comment.
Adams was elected in 2020 vowing to return order to a city that was ravaged by crime and businesses fleeing the Big Apple for lower tax states such as Florida.
He had strong support from the business community and people at the Partnership believe he mostly delivered on his promises for a pro business and public safety agenda despite the burgeoning corruption scandal.

They should have realized it’s a Communist takeover when the trash took Trump to court over the ludicrous real estate valuations.
Now they have to either leave or somehow dump this sub-room temperature IQ clown.
Hard to feel sorry for the people of NY. Make stupid choices, get stupid rewards.
Socialist taking over? Who do they think is running the city and the state now, Jefferson and Adams?
Leave
First step stop supporting Democrats.
Status quo. There’s no scrambing.
Status quo. There’s no scrambling.
Not the first time a socialist has run that city, but the timing is really bad.
“Elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences” applies.
Yet they support the socialist running for President?
Remember when people like me warned you people in New York not to vote that way?
And you people of New York laughed and sneered and called me a racist and vote for it anyway?
Good times.....
TRUMP is a resident…well of Florida mainly now, but has substantial holdings in NYC!

New York businesses should put up a sign: “GONE TO TEXAS.”
Too late, should have followed Trump when he fled NYC. Between the State AG Vulture and the Marxist new NYC puppet ... you’re screwed.
No refunds. Embrace the suck.
