A state judge on Thursday sided with Mayor Eric Adams’ administration in its refusal to enact a set of laws expanding access to city housing vouchers — tossing out a lawsuit brought by the Legal Aid Society and the City Council seeking to force him to implement the measures.
However, City Council spokesperson Rendy Desamours said in a Thursday afternoon statement that the council is “pursuing an immediate appeal” of the ruling. The decision marks a significant loss for the City Council in its ongoing power struggle with the Adams administration.
