Tensions between Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council over the How Many Stops Act reached a boiling point on Tuesday with political drama unfolding when proponents of the bill attempted to stage a press conference in the City Hall rotunda — only to get a hassle from the mayor’s representatives.
Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and City Council members supporting the act — which would require NYPD officers to provide written reports on certain interactions with members of the public — staged the press conference at City Hall on Jan. 23. At first, the event was scheduled to be outside, but inclement weather forced the organizers to move the event indoors to the rotunda.
