Mayor Eric Adams is losing ground in City Hall’s latest feud over mayoral appointments.
“Advice and consent works,” council Speaker Adrienne Adams said at a press conference before the Thursday vote. | Emil Cohen/NYC Council Media UnitNEW YORK — The City Council overwhelmingly passed legislation to give itself greater oversight of top mayoral appointments — the latest move in a power struggle with Mayor Eric Adams.
The speaker said she wanted the council’s proposal to be ready, in case the Charter Revision Commission failed to get its own questions on the ballot. But she said there were no plans to sue to stop it — as the council attempted in a 1998 breach between then Mayor Rudy Giuliani and lawmakers over using tax dollars on a new Yankee Stadium.
But those arguments found few supporters in the council. That even included support from conservative members such as Joann Ariola, Bob Holden and David Carr, who often side with the mayor.
