Mayor Adams' Girlfriend Retires Amid Probe
Mayor Eric Adams' longtime girlfriend, Tracey Collins, has retired from her high-ranking position in the NYC Department of Education (DOE). Collins, who served as a senior advisor to Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos, retired on November 1st, amidst a city probe investigating allegations of a 'no-show job'.
A former DOE employee filed complaints, alleging Collins rarely appeared in the office and had an empty work calendar. They also claimed that Collins had taken numerous trips with Mayor Adams, which were not disclosed in her conflict of interest filings.
Collins' retirement comes as the city investigates allegations of misconduct by DOE employees and vendors. The Special Commissioner of Investigation (SCI), a city agency, is looking into the complaints against Collins, and has confirmed that the investigation is ongoing.
Collins' departure follows a bombshell federal indictment against Mayor Adams, in which prosecutors allege he accepted travel perks worth up to $123,000. The indictment mentions Collins' participation in these trips. While Collins herself has not been charged, the complaint raises questions about her potential involvement in the alleged misconduct.
The investigation into Collins' alleged 'no-show job' continues, with investigators examining her time and attendance records and the gifts she allegedly received from a foreign government.
This latest development in the ongoing investigation adds another layer of complexity to the already tumultuous relationship between Mayor Adams and the DOE.
