City lawmakers approved a commission that could change the City Charter next year.
City lawmakers voted this week to form another charter revision commission after Mayor Eric Adams’ ballot proposals to rein in some of the Council’s power won voters' approval earlier this month.
The commission assembled by the mayor earlier this year put forth two measures to alter aspects of the Council’s lawmaking process, including how it passes bills on public safety. The vote this week is another bureaucratic chess move in a yearslong conflict between the mayor and the city legislature.
The speaker said she was not looking to replicate the “rushed” process undertaken by the mayor’s commission. The mayor’s historic indictment on federal corruption charges has made him more vulnerable to political opponents than past mayors.
