“[Mayor] Eric Adams essentially told us that he was going to be a wildcard and I don't think he's deviated from that,” Christina Greer, a political scientist at Fordham University, said in her assessment of the mayor's 100 days in office.
He has acknowledged that he is going to make mistakes, calling himself ““There's a different type of leadership now at City Hall,” said Basil Smikle, the director of Hunter College’s public policy program, who’s been following Adams’ performance. “One that is not necessarily concerned about brandishing any specific ideological affiliation, but that is focused on really managing the city.
“In the shadow of all this is that he's still a Black man trying to do a job that only one other Black man has done before,” Greer said. Adams has also proposed to expand the Earned Income Tax Program — which benefits low- to middle-income households — by significantly increasing the matching contributions from the city. He has called on the state to do the same. Despite being viewed as a policy that puts money directly in the pockets of the working poor, the program has not seen a rise in city and state funding in nearly 20 years.But the challenges facing Adams are steep.
Jeffrey Fagan, a Columbia University law professor who studies policing, said the city did not provide the context to evaluate those numbers.
