New York City’s mad mayoral race: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: The New York mayoral race, led by ex-Gov. Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani in second place.
New York’s mayoral race options the Dems placing forth antisemitic extremist Zohran Mamdani and sexual predator and COVID killer Andrew Cuomo (“Dems on pace for 2-horse NYC race,” April 21).
In the meantime, Mayor Adams is flashing indicators of political maturity as he strikes to the Independent Party. If the person is guilty of something, it was his naivety in trusting his former Bed-Stuy clique with high-level cupboard positions.
It strikes me that he has discovered from that defective decision-making. Give me Adams all day long.

The eight-year reign of hapless ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio that coincided with left-wing Andrew Cuomo’s reign as governor was a tag workforce that left town in shambles.
De Blasio’s affect on town has mercifully ended. But as in a recreation of whack-a-mole, former Cuomo has resurfaced and is within the lead for the Democratic nomination within the mayoral election.
In a discipline of left-wing socialists, he’s the lesser of the evils. But handing him the keys to town could be asking for more of the identical insurance policies that led to the deterioration of New Yorkers’ high quality of life.

Anyone who would vote for Cuomo wants a check-up from the neck up. You Democrats keep placing these phonies in workplace who do very silly issues, like getting seniors killed and appointing unhealthy people to free cop-killers.
Why not give a Republican like Curtis Sliwa a probability?
He would make dwelling in New York significantly better.

The disintegration of the Big Apple continues with the upcoming mayoral race and the questionable caliber of the candidates.
Are we to imagine that our tried and true New Yorkers would truly vote for radical Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani?
Mamdani desires to systematically tear aside all of the workings of New York and simply flip it into a “socialist nirvana.” His antisemitic beliefs alone are a purpose to completely disqualify his candidacy.
New Yorkers need to stand sturdy and save their metropolis; say no to Zohran Mamdani for mayor.

Will any person wake up the Republican Party of New York?
The competitors is between an antisemitic socialist, a former governor whose choices have been accountable for a whole bunch of deaths during COVID and the present mayor, who will lean any approach the wind blows in his favor.

The Issue: Gov. Hochul’s concept to release hundreds of inmates amid a staffing crunch at state prisons.
It is tough to imagine, after our cities have been assaulted by thugs and gang members due to Biden border insurance policies, that we at the moment are confronted with a second strike by the no-clue Gov. Hochul (“Kat’s ‘get out of jail free’ pitch,” April 19).
She is trying to spring 2,000-plus violent criminals as a result of there’s a correction-guard scarcity.
The wage of a correction officer is way much less than the price we are going to endure having more thugs getting a “get out of jail” card from Hochul.
She and the New York City Council are so out of contact with actuality.
This stupidity have to be stopped.

Let me get this straight: Gov. Hochul fires 2,000 correction officers and now desires to release between 3,000 and 4,000 felons as a result of the prisons are short-staffed.
As our own Cindy Adams writes, “Only in New York, kids, only in New York.”
