I'm going to

Brian Laird on WNYc, now it's time to speak to the speaker. My questions and yours for New York City Council Speaker Adrian Adams who leads the 51 member body of New Yorkers elected to represent every neighborhood 51 of them.

Speaker Adams has been much in the news this week for having probably the most serious

disagreements of her term to date with Mayor Eric Adams, no relation, on the issues of how much the NYPD

should have to document encounters with New Yorkers and how much, if any, solitary confinement

or what they call restrictive housing is acceptable as a safety

or de-escalation measure in the city jails.

Despite their current policy disagreements and some kind of weird dust up over who gets to put

chairs where in City Hall to answer questions from the press. The mayor only

expressed his affection for the speaker in his state of the city address on Wednesday.

I want to thank you know my sister and I'm gonna tell her like mommy used to tell me.

Speaker Adrian Adams, I love you and there's nothing you can do about it.

We'll see if that love is required and what lurks beneath that olive branch now as we welcome

speaker Adrian Adams, her own district around where both she and Mayor Adams

grew up is District 28 and Southeast Queens covering Jamaica, Richmond Hill, Rochdale Village, and

South ozone Park.

Speaker Adams, always good to have you on the show.
