We heard that song before.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tony Fasano<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Staten Island<\/em><\/p>\n<p>People are starting to say that Adams is working both sides of the street. He recently shared the stage with Cuo\u00admo, who is primarily responsible for endorsing damaging and faulty laws such as bail reform.<\/p>\n<p>Adams knows that minority youth crime is the elephant in the room and cannot be avoided. We need a massive intervention program to prevent another generation of minority youth going down a criminal path. And gang enforcement is an urgent matter as well.<\/p>\n<p>Will Adams make the tough calls? Or will he morph into the politician who follows where the wind blows?<\/p>\n<p><em>Phil Serpico, Queens<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cuomo and Democratic mayoral nominee Eric Adams met to discuss the serious situation regarding gun violence and how to get these weapons off the streets of New York City.<\/p>\n<p>It is going to be interesting to see how Adams will deal with this problem of how to get the guns off of our streets, should he be elected our next mayor.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be so sure that this is a given, because we might be very well surprised in November as to who the next mayor will be.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats don\u2019t hold all of the power in this state, though the liberal <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> would like the public to believe that they do. <\/p>\n<p><em>John Amato<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fresh Meadows<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Adams will be another de Blasio. The only difference will be that he will get along with Cuo\u00admo, unlike de Blasio.<\/p>\n<p>Before the election, he said Cuomo should resign, which he should. Now he says he\u2019s going to work closely with him to help New York.<\/p>\n<p>And imagine praising President Biden? What more proof is there that he is just another progressive who will take his orders from the other progressives?<\/p>\n<p>Remember the riots and the looting and the way the police are treated.
