Description

In this mini episode, NYCETC CEO Gregory J. Morris and Citizens Union Executive Director Grace Rauh sit down to unpack the latest indictments to drop against seven individuals, including Ingrid Lewis-Martin, and this week's scandal involving Winnie Greco — a longtime ally of Mayor Adams who resigned last year as his Asian community liaison after being the subject of multiple investigations.


Greco has recently re-emerged as a visible presence in the mayor’s re-election campaign and reportedly attempted to hand THE CITY reporter Katie Honan a wad of cash in a red envelope tucked inside an open bag of potato chips.


Greg and Grace share their first impressions of the controversy and discuss what it reveals about public trust and accountability across all levels of government, especially with mayoral elections on the horizon this fall.


Mini episodes of The NYC Workforce Drop deliver high-impact insights in under 15 minutes, perfect for leaders on the go who want clear analysis and bold ideas for NYC’s workforce future.


Topics: scandal, political accountability, mayoral elections, public trust, ethics in government, media and transparency, voter confidence, civic engagement, NYC politics, watchdog journalism, leadership credibility
