The Concern: Mayor Adams’ placement of billboards in Florida encouraging residents to maneuver to New York.
Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Training invoice (“Mayor Adams promotes LGBTQ NY in opposition to Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Homosexual’ regulation,” April 4).
Irate at dropping the power to indoctrinate kids as early as potential, progressives perfidiously labeled it the “Don’t Say Homosexual” invoice.
Mayor Adams, not busy sufficient with a metropolis in shambles, presents residency to Floridians, with the liberty “to say no matter you need.”
Possibly DeSantis, within the spirit of reciprocity, can recruit New Yorkers, promising them freedom from a bag of feces within the face or being pushed in entrance of a subway practice. He simply wants a catchy identify for our “No Cash Bail Act.”

So Adams is losing taxpayer cash making an attempt to lure Floridians to New York with guarantees of free speech, tolerance and variety.
He conveniently omitted the extra profit — the potential of being shot, stabbed, slashed, raped, murdered or shoved in entrance of a practice.
To not point out random assaults by deranged homeless folks and sky-high taxes. No sane individual would ever go away Florida for this horrible place.

The mayor has certainly taken a powerful stand in opposition to Florida’s new regulation on intercourse discussions for kids within the Third grade and beneath.
Adams goes to put in digital billboards in half a dozen Florida spots, urging residents to maneuver to New York Metropolis. (I hope they go!)
However what does his metropolis have to supply?
New York crime is now rampant: shootings, stabbings, murders, muggings, rapes, attackers on the subway, streets, and so forth.
Different info to contemplate: Tax charges in New York are the best within the nation. Florida has a few of the lowest. New York has misplaced residents. Florida gained residents.
Particular accolades to Gov. DeSantis, who had the “braveness of his convictions” to log off on this wanted new invoice.

Whoa. Adams is de facto hitting again at Florida along with his billboards.
There’s rampant crime, poor academic outcomes, residents fleeing the town and state, staff afraid of returning to work in Manhattan due to of road crime and all Adams has is a billboard in one other state?
The Florida invoice says nothing even remotely associated to “Don’t Say Homosexual.” If the residents of New York want to have their Okay-Third grade college students find out about homosexual, trans and queer existence, have at it. Nobody is holding them again.
However in Florida, our governor and elected representatives have determined that's the purview of the kid’s dad and mom, not an educator, to handle these matters.
Mayor Adams, you're deflecting as a result of you've got nothing and no thought on find out how to repair your metropolis’s issues. Repair your personal issues earlier than you throw stones.

Mayor Adams appears to have broad ambitions past New York Metropolis. Placing his nostril into Florida politics and sponsoring billboards in that state is presumptuous at finest.
He must put his nostril to the grindstone right here and deal with crime. His first three months have produced nothing to date.
My hunch is that he won't ever settle for any blame by advantage of his character. Weapons will likely be blamed on the pipeline, and so forth. His newest fake pas is giving a COVID-vax free move to athletes, whereas firing important metropolis staff.
He’s everywhere like a whirling dervish. My recommendation to him is to do the job you had been employed to do by the folks.

Adams is losing tax dollars on indicators and promoting in Florida, encouraging those that disagree with Florida’s new gender-education regulation to maneuver to New York.
Come on up for prime taxes, a state earnings tax, close to $5-per-gallon gasoline, chilly climate, out-of-control real-estate costs and the likelihood you can be shot or overwhelmed up whereas strolling down the road. Yup. Signal me up for that.
