The City Council on Tuesday voted in favor of overriding Mayor Eric Adams’ recent veto of the “How Many Stops Act” NYPD transparency bill — an expected conclusion to a fierce weeks-long battle over the legislation’s fate.
The 51-member council overrode the mayor’s veto with 42 votes in favor, nine against. The legislation garnered seven votes more than the 35 votes the council originally passed the two-bill package by late last year.
