Mayor Eric Adams’ handpicked Charter Revision Commission on Thursday approved five proposals to go before New York City voters this November — a move that could give City Hall more power in the legislative process, while also blocking a City Council bill that would expand the chamber’s approval power over mayoral appointees.
The 13-member commission, comprised of the mayor’s close allies, advanced the five proposals to appear on the Nov. 5 general election ballot unanimously during its final meeting on July 25 at the Brooklyn Public Library’s Central Branch. The vote came after a rally outside the branch Thursday where City Council leaders blasted it as a “sham.”
