NYC lawmakers pan Mayor Adams over 'inane' process for interacting with agency leaders
The Adams administration is continuing to defend its new protocol directing elected officials to fill out a lengthy online form to request meetings and other engagements with city agency leaders, despite significant pushback from members of the New York City Council and other lawmakers., arose during a Council oversight hearing on Wednesday that featured a few testy exchanges between councilmembers and Tiffany Raspberry, the mayor’s senior adviser and director of intergovernmental affairs.
Still, the interactions between Raspberry and Restler, the committee chair, were sometimes fractious, including when Raspberry sought to defend her integrity as a member of the mayor’s administration and reminded Restler that he had once met her late mother. The councilmember responded that his critiques of the protocol “were not personal.”
“I think that this form has sort of become like the boogeyman in the room,” she said. “And I don’t know if you’ve ever opened it, or looked at it, but it’s not that complicated.”
