NYC mayor laments not being told earlier about arsenic in public housing complex drinking water

NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams questioned Monday why members of his own administration didn’t inform him sooner about arsenic being discovered in the drinking water at a massive New York City Housing Authority complex in Manhattan.

According to a city government official, NYCHA brass first found out this past Thursday that elevated levels of the dangerous chemical had been detected in the water at the Riis Houses in the East Village.

But, speaking to the Daily News on Monday morning, Adams claimed he wasn’t told of the arsenic until the next day, suggesting a communication breakdown may be to blame.

“I found out Friday,” Adams said. “We’re doing a review to find out when (the Department of Environmental Protection) was aware because there should have been a natural step of notification.”

and he didn't know immigrants were sleeping on a floor in an office nd when a whistleblower called the press he called her a liar even though they had pics.

According to people around here he spends his nights hobnobbing/glad handing at various restaurants around town.
