Suspect NYC Mayor Eric Adams Refuses To Make His Tax Returns Public

April 19, 2022

Eric Adams tenure as the Mayor of New York City is only a few months old but already the man’s ways and actions has his him looking very funny in the light.

After making some controversial decisions including participating in nepotism and rubbing elbows with the rich and famous, now Eric Adams is going the Trumpian route and is seemingly hiding his taxes from the public. According to Politico, Adams says he won’t commit to releasing his tax returns, bucking decades of customs but danced around the possibility of one day maybe making his returns public if need be.

When a reporter asked Adams if they could get a firm commitment that he’ll release his filings at some point in the coming future, the mayor simply said “No, you can’t.”

Technically the city conflicts board really only requires local elected officials, candidates and policy makers to publicly  state their income, assets and liabilities but doesn’t actually require disclosure of their tax returns. It’s basically up to the office holder whether or not they want the public to know what their returns are looking like and Adams doesn’t seem like he wants his constituents to know too much about his personal finances.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Adams had to refile his taxes after a Politico reporter found that he had failed to disclose rental income on his returns.

Knowing that reporters out there will connect some missing dots must surely weigh on his decision to make his taxes public. That being said, what could the Mayor of New York City be hiding? Would his constituents even care? Guess we may never know.
