Mayor Eric Adams is asking the State Legislature to let him maintain control of city schools for four more years. NY1’s Zack Fink, Courtney Gross and Juan Manuel Benítez explain why he wants an extension of what he’s calling “mayoral accountability” and whether or not this is likely to happen.

And as New Yorkers start feeling the ripple effect of the War in Ukraine, with soaring gas prices and skyrocketing inflation, Zack, Courtney and Juan also discuss how local politicians are responding to the international crisis, especially in light of the upcoming midterm elections.

We want to hear from you, especially what you think about the mayor’s push to maintain local control of city schools.
