Mayor Adams pledged to release his 'tax information,' after initially saying he wasn’t committing to making his returns public. “Remember, I’m not required. We know that, right? So let’s be clear on that,' Adams said.
Mayor Eric Adams at an event announcing a rooftop farm in Staten Island today.“We’re going to release tax information, no hesitation,” Adams said at an unrelated news conference in Staten Island. “Remember, I’m not required. We know that, right? So let’s be clear on that.”
His reversal, happening one day after the annual filing deadline, came after Adams faced mounting criticism for not committing to releasing his taxes, which has been considered a standard tradition his predecessors had honored en route to Gracie Mansion. After initially being asked on Friday if he would make a “firm commitment” to releasing his taxes annually, the mayor responded with a “no.”
Mayor Bill de Blasio, however, consistently released his returns shortly after Tax Day. In one instance, de Blasio took a jab at then-President Donald Trump, who notoriously hasn’t released his tax records.
