Lawmakers like NYC Council speaker Adrienne Adams ignored Mayor Adams’ protestations in May and overwhelmingly backed the bills.
Council Speaker Adrienne Adams threw down the gauntlet Thursday as Mayor Eric Adams eyes a veto of a sweeping package of legislation that expanded the Big Apple’s rental voucher program for the poor., which he claims could cost taxpayers as much as $17 billion over five years, but only has until Monday to decide if he will allow it to lapse into law or if he will attempt to block it and find the votes to sustain a veto.
“You know, the four bills were passed with a veto-proof majority Council,” the speaker told reporters during a press conference before the legislative body’s scheduled meeting. “A veto at this point would amount to political theater.” “Our city certainly can’t see or can’t afford to see more New Yorkers become homeless and lose their homes and join the already high shelter population, which is growing by the moment,” she added. “We are preparing to override a veto to confront this crisis.”The package would end a provision that requires people to stay in a shelter for 90 days before becoming eligible for a voucher, a provision that the mayor eventually embraced.
