☆ Adams vs. Adams: A Power Struggle in New York City Turns Ugly
  + stars: | 2024-05-21 | by ( Dana Rubinstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Amid growing public dissatisfaction with Mayor Eric Adams’s job performance, the New York City Council speaker, Adrienne Adams, was about to make a power play. Ms. Adams was preparing to introduce legislation on Thursday that would require the mayor to obtain Council approval on 21 commissioner-level appointments, according to a draft of the bill that the speaker’s office shared with The New York Times. The move would significantly curtail the mayor’s authority by adding a level of Council oversight. It would require a citywide voter referendum, because it proposes to curb the power of the mayor. Only one member was named; other names, the release said, would be forthcoming.

CNN —Manhattan prosecutors are conducting a “rigorous ongoing investigation” into the death of a man seen in video being put in a chokehold by another rider on the New York subway.

Why It MattersWith more than 200 locations across New York, the city’s public library systems are beloved as a community resource and a foundation of critical priorities like childhood reading and providing access to the internet. “This investment is an investment in the people of New York City,” he said in a statement. What’s NextLeaders in the City Council have vowed to fight the mayor’s cuts, with a budget deal expected in June. On Wednesday, Adrienne Adams, the City Council speaker, said the budget fight was far from over. The mayor’s executive budget, she said, “still leaves our libraries facing significant service cuts, agencies that deliver essential services harmed, and programs that deliver solutions to the city’s most pressing challenges without the investments needed.”

☆ Drastic pay inequities persist for Black and Latino NYC workers, especially women
  + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( Zachary Schermele | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +3 min
A new pay equity report from the New York City Council shows “persistent, large pay gaps” in the city’s municipal workforce, particularly among Black, Latino and white employees — a divide that gets worse when comparing men and women workers. Black city employees make just 71 cents on average for every dollar made by their white counterparts, according to the report, which was released Thursday. For Black women and Latinas, the gap is even larger, dropping to 69 cents for every dollar made by white male employees. On the whole, female city employees make 73 cents for every male dollar. Pay equity reports are mandated by a New York City law passed in 2019 that aimed to “find and eliminate” wage gaps in public employment.
