Thank you very much madam majority leader and good afternoon everyone.

I want to begin by discussing the dire need for leadership right now.
0:15:18
The events of these past few weeks in our city have been troubling.
0:15:22
The recent resignation of four deputy mayors who managed practically all of our city's agencies is a development we cannot afford.

That is why I called for mayor Adams to step aside.
0:15:35
The stakes are too high for us to have a diminished mayoral administration.
0:15:41
We need an administration that can sound the alarm about what is at stake and work with the city's partners to protect New Yorkers.
