NYC Council’s productivity plummets 86% as speaker, comrades play politics instead of governing
Story by Rich Calder • 40m

The City Council has seen a shocking drop-off in productivity, with its 51 members this year introducing 86% fewer bills than in 2024, The Post has learned.

Council members have introduced only 114 prospective “local laws” since Jan. 21 — the day it created a Charter Revision Commission to review ways to diminish the mayor’s authority.
 
Last year, the body produced 858 bills during the same period.

Council Speaker Adrienne Adams – who is not related to her adversary, Mayor Adams — has stretched the Council’s key central staffers thin by having some work for the commission, taking time away from their duties helping to draft bills.
