Mayor Eric Adams marks a year in office on New Year’s Day.
Shortly after midnight last year in Times Square, after the ball was thrown, Adams was sworn in publicly, officially becoming the city’s 110th mayor.
During his campaign, Adams portrayed himself as a mayor who identifies with the city’s working families.
Crime was one of its major themes, promising to lower the city’s crime rate and take guns off the streets.
A year later, crime continues to be a problem, although the mayor says we are now starting to see some positive signs.
A few days ago the mayor published a message on social networks listing what he believes are some of the achievements of his government.
“A solid economy.
“Safe streets and subways.
“Cheaper housing.
“I support working families.
“A great education for our children.
“When I took office a year ago, I promised to #GetStuffDone in these areas. I am proud to announce that we have done just that,” the mayor said in the message.
A strong economy.
Safe streets and subways.

Adams recently sparked controversy with a new plan to get the mentally ill off city streets, even if they pose no threat to others.
New York City continues to be the safest large city in America because of the work we have done and continue to do.
