"continues to go through the legislative process, which is deliberative and allows for thorough input from all stakeholders."
"I offered all those things to John Samuelsen. You want to know what he offered me? Zero. Nada,"
"We're minding our own business,"
"The council hasn't moved on this because there's not even a close majority support,"
NYCLASS ran ads targeting Transport Workers Union leader John Samuelsen and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams over the stalled Ryder's Law. The bill remains in the Health Committee with no scheduled vote and a council spokesperson said the bill continues to go through the legislative process, which is deliberative and allows for thorough input from all stakeholders. Samuelsen lobbied against the ban, defended drivers, and called the proposal political. The mayor proposed medallion buybacks and city jobs for drivers with higher compensation and benefits; the administration proposed electric carriages and a Central Park stable for remaining horses. The council has not moved due to lack of a clear majority.
