NYC Lawmakers Decry Mayor Adams' New Red Tape for City Communications
- Lawmakers furious over NYC Mayor Adams' new policy requiring forms to communicate with city agencies/officials, calling it "bureaucratic BS"
- City set up 14-question Google form for elected officials to request meetings/events with city personnel
- Council members say form is confusing, unclear when it needs to be used; raises concerns over independence of review process
- Form requires requests go through Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, potentially slowing issue resolution and legislation
- Policy could hamper New Yorkers raising issues with lawmakers, some believe savvy commissioners will ignore it
