NYC Mayor Eric Adams Agrees To $1 Salary For Brother

The New York Times reports:

When a furor erupted over Mayor Eric Adams’s decision to hire his brother to manage his security detail, the mayor retroactively sought formal guidance from the New York City Conflicts of Interest Board and vowed to abide by its determination.

After discussions between the mayor’s office and the board, new terms of employment were agreed upon: Instead of earning $210,000 a year, he will earn $1; instead of serving as the “executive director of mayoral security” within the confines of the New York Police Department, he will instead serve as a “senior adviser for mayoral security” within the office of the mayor.
