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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
