City Council is taking on Hizzoner again after an embarrassing defeat over the November ballot by establishing their own Charter Revision Commission ahead of the 2025 and 2026 general election.
The New York City Council is scrambling to reassert control in its ongoing power struggle with Mayor Eric Adams after a painful defeat on the November ballot.
“The mayor’s recent charter revision commission, composed solely of his appointees, rushed the process to put proposals two through six on the ballot without any meaningful input or consideration from New Yorkers,” she snapped during a press briefing at City Hall on Wednesday.
November’s ballot initiatives emerged after the mayor opposed a plan introduced by the speaker which would have given the council more power to confirm the leaders of city agencies. Among those passed in deference to the council included a measure which would allow the mayor’s budget office to issue reports on the financial impacts of bills under consideration and another that would require lawmakers to give a 30-day notice on public hearings for legislation involving public safety agencies.
