NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams’ ‘powerless’ charter panel stacked with Dem cronies making six-figures
Story by Rich Calder • 2h
NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and the rest of the legislative body’s far-left majority are on pace to burn through millions of dollars in taxpayer money funding a powerless panel stacked with political cronies whose Machiavellian mission is to weaken the mayor’s power — for their own gain, The Post has learned.
The Council’s so-called “NYC Commission to Strengthen Local Democracy” – which is in the process of soliciting public input on ways to revise government operations that include diminishing a sitting mayor’s veto powers and boosting the Council’s say in high-level agency appointments – is all but obsolete.
That’s because Mayor Eric Adams – who isn’t related to the speaker but is her political adversary — appointed his own Charter Revision Commission in December that is reviewing ways to tackle the city’s housing crisis and other possible rule charges.
Under city election rules, only proposals from the mayor’s commission can appear on the November ballot if both panels submit proposals.
