A commission backed by Mayor Eric Adams dropped its controversial final report Tuesday – with recommendations for ballot measures that would make it tougher for the City Council to pass bills.
“This Mayor’s sham Charter Revision Commission has done a disservice to New Yorkers by putting forward rushed proposals that block voters’ rights while undermining democracy and oversight of the Mayor’s administration,” said Julia Agos, the council’s spokesperson. Council members were also peeved that the proposed referendums could knock their own measure off the November ballot if the Adams administration meets the Aug. 5 filing deadline. The City Council’s proposal would ask voters to broaden the council’s power to confirm the leaders of city agencies.The Charter Review Commission wants council members to request an official financial impact report from the mayor’s budget director before holding a hearing on a new bill.
