The proposals were added to the ballot at the last minute, and the campaign against them had only seven weeks to educate voters about the implications.
Michael Sisitzky emphasized that the goal of the measures was not to enhance services for New Yorkers, but rather to augment mayoral control, calling many of the proposals 'dangerous'.
Despite a well-organized opposition campaign by over 60 organizations, the ballot measures saw overwhelming support from voters, with five out of six initiatives passing.
The NYCLU's campaign focused on informing voters about the risks associated with the proposals, highlighting the need for public understanding of what constitutes a power grab.
