NYC Council OKs measure to expand its powers, but fight with Mayor Adams is just beginning
The New York City Council has passed a bill to expand its approval authority over high-level appointments in the mayoral administration — a measure that has prompted fierce pushback and political maneuvering from Mayor Eric Adams.
The mayor’s office did not immediately issue a comment. The mayor has 30 days to decide whether to veto the bill, setting up a potential third veto override by the Council. “These are the people who provide your drinking water, who maintain your parks, who make sure that your streets are clean, who protect public health,” said Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer during the mayor’s weekly press conference on Tuesday.
