... As outgoing Mayor Eric Adams weighs appointing new members to the city's Rent Guidelines Board during his final weeks in office, tenant groups have a message for any potential candidates: Don't take the gig.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has pledged to appoint an RGB that will vote to freeze rents for the city's 2 million tenants in rent stabilized apartments -- a key measure in his campaign's affordability platform. ...

Yeah, as I have seen on the local news this week, Mayor Adams seems to want to do all he can to sabotage the upcoming Mayor-elect Mamdani.

My first question would be... why?

Asked differently, wouldn't a current Mayor of NYC want to hold the interests of the people of NYC in the highest regard, and help the next Mayor?

So, why does Mayor Adams seem to want, no..., no only want, but endeavor, to work against the next Mayor?

Is Mayor Adams that petty?
