NYC Mayor Eric Adams' former chief adviser to face more charges: Lawyer
Ingrid Lewis-Martin, New York City Mayor Eric Adams' former chief adviser who remains a volunteer on his reelection campaign, will appear in court Thursday to face additional charges, her lawyer said. The lawyer, Arthur Aidala, said the Manhattan District Attorney's Office declined to provide details about the new charges. "Despite a lifetime of service as a law-abiding public servant, Ingrid is being forced to enter court with little information. What she does know is this: she has always served the City with integrity, and she will firmly plead not guilty to every charge," Aidala said in a statement. "While the specifics remain unclear, Ingrid is certain of one thing -- she has broken no laws, and she is not guilty. We will be requesting an expedited trial schedule." Adams, who is trying to revive a lagging reelection campaign, is not expected to be charged with any wrongdoing and a spokesperson said the new charges against Lewis-Martin have nothing to do with him. "Mayor Adams was not involved in this matter and has not been accused of or implicated in any wrongdoing. He remains focused on what has always been his priority -- serving the 8.5 million New Yorkers who call this city home and making their city safer and more affordable every single day," the spokesperson said. "Ingrid Lewis-Martin no longer works for this administration." MORE: Ingrid Lewis-Martin, NYC Mayor Eric Adams' former chief adviser, surrenders on criminal charges Lewis-Martin was previously charged, along with her son, Glenn Martin II, with taking $100,000 in bribes from two businessmen in exchange for official favors. Both pleaded not guilty. Three other individuals with ties to Adams are also expected to face charges on Thursday, according to sources: Jesse Hamilton, a former state senator and current deputy commissioner of real estate services, and Gina and Tony Argento, Brooklyn business owners and donors to Adams. Attorney information for Hamilton and the Argentos was not immediately available. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office and the New York City Department of Investigation had no comment on their charges or the new charges against Lewis-Martin. Two real estate investors, Raizada Vaid and Mayank Dwivedi, were also charged with bribery in the case involving Lewis-Martin and her son. They have pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors accused of engaging in a $100,000 bribery scheme while Lewis-Martin was in office. She resigned from her position days before surrendering on bribery and money laundering charges in December 2024. Vaid and Dwivedi are accused of paying Glenn Martin II $100,000 months after Lewis-Martin allegedly performed favors for the two men, including helping them with issues relating to construction permits and a family member's visa, according to the indictment. Lewis-Martin's son allegedly used the money to buy a Porsche, prosecutors said. MORE: Timeline of how Eric Adams' bribery case led to resignations of federal prosecutors The case is separate from federal corruption charges that were brought and then subsequently dropped against Adams. The mayor was indicted last year in the Southern District of New York on five counts in an alleged long-standing conspiracy connected to improper benefits, illegal campaign contributions and an attempted cover-up. The Department of Justice moved to dismiss the charges, prompting the resignation of several top prosecutors. In April, a federal judge dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be revived. The Justice Department sought to have the case dismissed to free up Adams to cooperate with the mayor's immigration agenda, though it wanted the case dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be brought again.

New Yorkers Given Update On $400 Inflation Rebate Checks
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Governor Kathy Hochul has said New Yorkers will receive inflation rebate checks of up to $400 this fall despite proposed federal budget cuts that reduced aid to the state. Speaking at the State Fair in Syracuse, Hochul said: "We collected more money than we expected to collect because of inflation. And that came off the backs of hardworking families in New York. So my view is: Give it back to them." Her comments were reported by Newsday. Why it Matters The rebates were included in New York's 2025–26 state budget, a move designed to return surplus revenue to taxpayers after sales tax receipts rose with inflation. The administration is preparing to send them out from October 2025. The refunds aim to provide one-time relief for millions of households facing higher living costs and represent a high-profile element of the state budget that also included tax cuts and expanded child tax credits. Kochul was confirming on Monday that rebates will go ahead as planned, despite Trump's July budget leaving New York with a shortfall of $750 million in federal funds — and a further $3 billion next year. "This is New Yorkers' money," she said. New York Governor Kathy Hochul speaks during the NYC Financial Control Board meeting at the offices of Gov. Hochul, New York, NY, August 13, 2025. Meeting centered on upcoming adopted 2026 Fiscal Year New York... New York Governor Kathy Hochul speaks during the NYC Financial Control Board meeting at the offices of Gov. Hochul, New York, NY, August 13, 2025. Meeting centered on upcoming adopted 2026 Fiscal Year New York City Budget and Financial Plan. (Photo by Anthony Behar/SipaUSA)(Sipa via AP Images) More AP What To Know An estimated $2 billion in rebates will be sent out to eight million New Yorkers, according to the state Department of Taxation and Finance. Eligible residents who filed a 2023 Form IT-201 and met income thresholds will receive checks automatically, with joint filers up to $150,000 getting $400 and single filers up to $75,000 getting $200. Mailings were scheduled to begin in mid-October and continue for a few weeks. What People Are Saying The rebates have been criticized by some who feel the state cannot afford it. Democratic State Sen. James Skoufis criticized the refunds as a political stunt in May, saying: "New Yorkers know a gimmick when they see one." Hochul said suggestions that the rebates should be withheld in light of the federal budget were "shortsighted." "It's a one-time infusion of money," Newsday reported her as saying. "It will not be there next year." How High Is Inflation In The U.S? U.S. inflation was flat in July, with gas and grocery declines offsetting higher import costs. Prices rose at a rate of 2.7 percent year-over-year, steady from June and up from April's 2.3 percent low. Core inflation, excluding food and energy, climbed to 3.1 percent, above the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target. New York's 2025-6 Budget Beyond the inflation rebate checks, Hochul's budget for New York also delivers historic middle-class tax cuts, expands the child tax credit to $1,000 per child, ensures universal free school meals, and pays off $8 billion in pandemic-era unemployment insurance debt. It boosts Medicaid funding by over $4 billion—leveraging a new health-plan tax to secure federal matching, allocates $50 million for a state housing voucher program, ramps up infrastructure—especially schools, roads, and environmental investments—and grants the governor authority to enact up to $2 billion in emergency cuts with legislative oversight.

‘Fare adjustment'? Sorry, Janno Lieber: New Yorkers know a fare hike when they see one
Luiz C. Ribeiro for New York Post 'Fare adjustment': That's what MTA boss Janno Lieber laughably calls the next subway-fare hike. Give us a break: A hike is a hike. And every New Yorker knows it. Lieber is resorting to Team Hochul's Orwellian-naming schtick for papering over bad news and rotten policy. Advertisement As in the faux-wonk term 'congestion pricing' for a $9-per-trip tax that's still headed back to the originally-planned $15 — which will doubtless rise on in what Lieber can call 'a congestion pricing adjustment.' More mush: Don't forget that Gov. Kathy Hochul bragged about 'saving' New Yorkers money by starting with only $9 when she socked them with that tax, not the full $15?) Advertisement OK: The subway hike is just a dime, to $3 (for now). But it comes atop countless other taxes that hit New York residents with the nation's heaviest state- and local-tax burden. 'While a small increase may seem like nothing to you at all, it makes a big difference,' one resident, Hannah Reed, told MTA board members.

Check out more newsletters Advertisement Yet the brass won't admit the truth: 'I would not call this a hike,' board member Neal Zuckerman huffed. It's 'a very gradual raise, and I think very respectful of the inflation and affordability issues.' What arrogance. As one straphanger, Emmanuel Vasquez, fumed, 'There's always flooding, there's always a brake emergency, there's always a power outage' on the subway, but officials never stop zapping riders with hikes. And that's despite the billions the agency collects not just from fares but city, state and federal tax revenue, corporations, individual taxes and, yes, 'congestion pricing.' Advertisement And while it diverts money to politically-driven projects like Second Avenue Subway expansion: On Monday, the board OK'd a $1.9 billion contract for just a part of project; the final tab will run at least $7 billion for just three new stations. Lieber & Co. know darn well their repeated dips into New Yorkers' pockets sting; they just don't care to admit it. Why else hide behind weasel words?
