NYC Council to scrutinize Mayor Adams’ online form for agency requests at hearing
The New York City Council is firing back at Mayor Eric Adams’ new protocol for requesting engagements with agency leaders with a well-established procedure of its own: an oversight hearing.
The form wasn’t officially communicated to the Council and reached lawmakers in a haphazard manner, according to Speaker Adams and interviews with councilmembers. A day after news of the mayor’s directive broke, the speaker told her members to ignore it, calling it “inappropriate.” The mayor added that he’s been monitoring responses to the form to make sure city services aren’t duplicated and newer elected officials who lack the same rapport with agencies as their more veteran peers receive equitable attention from his administration. He also said he didn’t expect lawmakers to fill out the form for emergency matters requiring an immediate response.
