– New York City Mayor Eric Adams today released the following statement after the commissioners of the Charter Revision Commission unanimously voted to approve ballot proposals for the upcoming November election:
“On behalf of 8.3 million New Yorkers, I want to thank the distinguished members of this Charter Revision Commission for volunteering their service to our city. This dedicated group of veteran civil servants, former elected officials, community activists, and religious and business leaders brought their vast experience and diverse voices to the table to ensure that our city is working as efficiently as possible for all its residents and delivering a city government that reflects the needs and aspirations of millions of working-class New Yorkers.
“This commission carefully examined our city’s charter, heard from residents across all five boroughs, and approved thoughtful ballot proposals regarding cleaner streets, fiscal responsibility, public safety, capital planning, and minority- and women-owned business enterprises that their fellow New Yorkers will have the opportunity to vote on when they flip their ballots this November.”
