Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright Resigns Amidst Turmoil in New York City Administration

New York City’s political landscape faced a significant shake-up as Sheena Wright, the top Deputy Mayor in Eric Adams‘ administration, submitted her resignation. This development adds to the recent turbulence within the city’s governmental framework.

The announcements surrounding city officials continue as Mohamed Bahi, who also resigned earlier this week, was arrested shortly thereafter. The circumstances of his arrest are yet to be fully disclosed, contributing to the growing intrigue and uncertainty within City Hall.

Amidst these resignations, the position of ‘rat czar,’ a term used informally within the municipal government, remains filled. However, should the current official vacate the role, potential successors are already being speculated upon, with Robert Saleh being humorously mentioned as a candidate. Saleh, recognized for his role in professional sports, is noted to have experience in situations involving criticism and accountability.

“It’s been a tumultuous time,” remarked a City Hall insider familiar with the ongoing developments. “The administration is facing challenges on multiple fronts, both internally and externally.”
