Just say no? Cadre of pols urge New Yorkers to vote against Mayor Adams’ November ballot questions

A group of 43 local, state, and federal elected officials on Wednesday urged New Yorkers to vote “no” on five November ballot proposals approved by Mayor Eric Adams’ hastily convened City Charter Revision Commission earlier this year.

The plea came from elected officials including Democratic Reps. Jerry Nadler (Manhattan) and Nydia Velázquez (Brooklyn/Queens) as well as City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams. The group No Power Grab NYC, which has been campaigning against the ballot measures ahead of the election, organized the effort.
