A letter from the state blasts the city for failing to accept numerous state offers of assistance over the last year.
Tensions seem to be growing between the New York City mayor and the state's governor. In a letter, a lawyer for Governor Kathy Hochul criticized Mayor Eric Adams' handling of the asylum-seeker crisis.The governor's letter comes in response to a list of requests made by the city, and says that the city failed to accept several offers of assistance made by the state, including the use of more than a dozen state-run sites it said could be converted into shelters.
The letter from the state said the city failed to accept several proposals to use state-controlled sites that could house more than 3,000 migrants. The Hochul administration also believes the city is not prioritizing the migrants' work permit applications. Meanwhile, the mayor also addressed discontent by some residents after the opening of a new shelter in Queens.
