(The Post Millennial)—New York Governor Kathy Hochul is set to announce on Thursday that instead of using her authority to remove New York City Mayor Eric Adams, she will impose guardrails on his administration, two officials familiar with Hochul’s thinking told the New York Times.
This comes as Adams’ lawyer has denied claims that the New York City leader struck a deal with the Trump administration’s Department of Justice to have his corruption case dropped in exchange for supporting federal immigration policies.
Hochul at a news conference later Thursday plans to criticize Adams for his conduct and portray her proposals as needed to reassure city residents that Adams is being held accountable. She is expected to say that she is not prepared to overturn the will of the voters, but outline new oversight measures aimed at empowering state and city officials to keep watch over Adams’ team.
Among the steps Hochul is set to announce are the creation of a new state deputy inspector general dedicated to just New York City; creating a fund for the City Council speaker, city comptroller, and public advocate to hire outside counsel to sue the Trump administration if Adams declines to do so; granting additional funds for the state’s comptroller to investigate city finances; and impose a rule barring the mayor from hiring the head of the city’s Department of Investigation without approval of the state inspector general.
The Times noted that the proposals had yet to be finalized ahead of Hochul’s announcement and were described by the officials who were not authorized to speak on them publicly.
At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
