Queens Civic Congress calls for halt and investigation into City of Yes amid Mayor's federal charges - QNS

'In view of the federal indictment of NYC Mayor Eric Adams by the US Southern District of New York, the Queens Civic Congress (QCC) demands an immediate halt to the legislative process and a thorough investigation into the "City of Yes for Housing Opportunity,' read the statement. This reflects growing concerns about transparency and accountability in city governance amidst ongoing federal inquiries into corruption within the administration.'

'Members of the QCC argue that the NYC Planning Commission, which voted in favor of the proposal, is proceeding in an expedited way to implement the project. With the backdrop of multiple ongoing investigations into City Hall officials alleging corruption, there is a heightened sense of urgency among residents for greater oversight on urban planning initiatives, particularly those affecting housing.'
