NYC residents could have say on trash cans, fiscal issues, public safety in November election

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A group tasked with reviewing the city’s governing document released its final report Tuesday offering New Yorkers a look at five issues they may have a chance to vote on in the November election.

The Charter Revision Commission — convened by Mayor Eric Adams in May and chaired by Carlo Scissura, president and CEO of the New York Building Congress — still needs to vote at its final public meeting Thursday on the series of proposed changes to the City Charter outlined in the report.

“I’m fortunate to have now served on a New York City Charter Revision Commission for the third time, and leading this esteemed group as commission chair has been an incredible honor,” Scissura said.

“I look forward to our fellow New Yorkers flipping their ballot this November and making their voices heard once more on these significant issues. No commission can address every issue brought forward from the multitude of opinions we hear from the public, which is why final reports always include issues that require further study for potential consideration by future commissions.”
