Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday said he is considering a legal challenge against the City Council over a package of bills it passed in May that would expand eligibility for city housing vouchers.

The mayor’s statement comes amid an ongoing back and forth over the legislation, with Adams vetoing the bills last month and the council set to override his downvote later this week.
