This week, Mayor Adams and the City Council faced off in what has been a months-long battle over two criminal justice bills. The City Council ultimately voted to override two mayoral vetoes, but Mayor Adams is still hoping members will revise the ‘How Many Stops Act.’ NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Dan Rivoli and Kelly Mena weigh in on the City Council’s actions and what it means for New York City politics. They also touch on a recent traffic stop involving Councilman Yusef Salaam, which became the center of the debate ahead of the vote.
After that, Councilwoman Gale Brewer is considering bringing back vendors to the Brooklyn Bridge – potentially reversing a decision by the Adams administration. Mayor Adams had vendors removed from the bridge last month, arguing it was overcrowded and becoming dangerous for pedestrians. This may be setting up yet another conflict, between Adams and council members. The “Off Topic” team discusses this recent development.
