Just three of Queens’ 15 council members voted against overriding the mayor’s veto of two heavily contested public safety bills.
Council Members Joann Ariola (R), Vickie Paladino (R) and Robert Holden (D) were among the nine members across the city to say no to the How Many Stops bill, which requires police to document low level interactions with civilians, as well as a separate bill that will ban solitary confinement in city jails. The overrule of the mayor’s vetoes passed the full council by 42-9.
