Episode 365: City Hall Heats Up Cold War with City Council

FAQ NYC

Hosts Christina Greer, Katie Honan and Harry Siegel discuss some of the news from another jam-packed week in New York City, including the big march in support of the Council member who allegedly bit a cop and NYPD chief of patrol Jeffrey Maddrey getting off the hook on the latest charges against him for allegedly abusing his authority in an incident first reported by THE CITY.

They also dig into the emergency order the mayor issued this weekend suspending parts of a new law intended to end solitary confinement in Rikers Island and other city lockups, the cold shoulder City Hall has turned toward reporters — and City Hall’s new ballot proposals New Yorkers will vote on in November that would, among other things, limit the power of the City Council, and that knocked a Council proposal to have advice and consent of top mayoral appointees off of the ballot.
