Eric Adams Discusses New York City's Safety, Economic Vision, and Upcoming Mayoral Election

Published | Video Starts at 07:04

And I knew I had to make the city safe and I knew we had to find creative ways of putting money back in the pockets of everyday working class people. We put billions of dollars back in paying off medical debt, paying college tuition for foster care children, lowering the cost of childcare from $220 a month to less than $20 a month and extra tax for working class, no income tax for low income New Yorkers. Those are real solutions, not academic, elitist approach to these real problems. As mayor, I gave them the real solutions. I heard what they stated when I ran for office. (07:04–07:26)
