>He said he wanted to close down Rikers Island.

Yes. He did. Because the law[0] (the passage of which he was not involved) says Riker's Island needs to be closed by 2027 -- something Eric "how much will you pay to play?" Adams slow-walked on purpose.

The rest of your diatribe is a bunch of bullshit that doesn't pass the sniff test.

It’s not what I said? Not even remotely.
