Quotes
Officials only, in order.
I’m voting no on Intro 55A. The requirement to post signage in city buildings including schools promoting sanctuary city policies is inappropriate and politicizes the immigration enforcement.Vickie Paladino · Council member · District 1939:56rec. 2
As New York continues to face an affordability crisis, far too many of our neighbors remain unhoused.Chris Banks · Deputy leader · District 421:06:15rec. 2
Tonight, more than 100,000 people, including thousands of young people, will sleep in New York City’s shelter system.Shahana K. Hanif · Council member · District 391:28:47rec. 2
The Speaker and Councilmember Sanchez have been tremendous champions for CityFEPs, and I really, really hope that we can get a deal done because this is a proven and effective strategy to prevent people from going into shelter and getting people out of shelter.Lincoln Restler · Council member · District 331:30:45rec. 2
We have been vigilant as a council to continue to fight for that, and it is going to be imperative that the administration comes and pours money into that program so that the most vulnerable folks are getting housed. I know it’s probably going to be mentioned by other folks, but we have thousands of students who live in shelters.Tiffany L. Cabán · Council member · District 221:32:23rec. 2

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
