Council members passed an 'advice and consent bill' giving them more power over mayoral appointments, escalating tensions between Mayor Adams and Speaker Adams.
Council Member James Gennaro accused Mayor Adams' aide of perjury, sparking controversy before the oversight vote, leading to rebuttals from City Hall.
The bipartisan vote to expand Council's oversight highlights ongoing power struggles between City Hall and City Council, potentially affecting future mayoral appointments.
The proposed charter change, allowing Council to approve key administration positions, may proceed to the ballot in November, creating further conflict with the mayor's office.
