New Charter Commission bill is latest chapter in City Council’s running feud with Mayor Adams

City lawmakers want to take another look at Mayor Eric Adams’ changes to the city constitution with the passage of a bill to establish their own review panel on Wednesday, marking the latest chaptrer in the ongoing feud between the City Council and Hizzoner.

Following the passage of Mayor Adams’ ballot measures that will take some power away from the City Council last week, the legislature struck back on Wednesday by passing Speaker Adrienne Adams’ legislation to establish a Charter Revision Commission that could put the body’s own proposals on the ballot sometime in the next two years.
