Council Member Robert Holden has called for Comptroller Brad Lander to step back from any conversations regarding Mayor Eric Adams' status. This request follows a letter from Lander that Holden claims was politically charged and intended to bolster Lander's mayoral ambitions. He insists that Lander's actions misuse public resources and should be investigated by the Department of Investigation and the Conflicts of Interest Board, emphasizing that such political maneuvering undermines public trust in governance.
"The calls for Mayor Adams' removal now reek of political maneuvering. What has changed since September until now? Comptroller Brad Lander must recuse himself from any discussions on the mayor's status, including any role in the Inability Committee if it convenes."
"Using official letterhead and staff to draft a politically charged letter that benefits his own mayoral ambitions is a clear abuse of public trust. New Yorkers deserve better."
