I understand the mayor wants to— or he supports a rent freeze. But at the same time that in this budget I’m hearing the property tax increases, and I’m convinced that you increase property taxes, the property owners will just pass these expenses to the tenants and small businesses, hence increasing the rent.”

We have corrections officers in the bakery at Rikers Island when we should have civilians that would cost a whole lot less for the City of New York and probably have higher retention as well.”

“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice. A meeting missing there means we couldn’t attribute it, not that they were absent.

Attendance

Roll calls at 27 of 38 meetings, through Oct 22, 2026

From the clerk’s own record, listed by seat. This is the official attendance record. It is separate from our voice counts, and we don’t compare members on it.
How the record counts. The clerk's roll call for the meeting. Medical, parental, bereavement, jury duty and conflict are counted as excused; we keep the clerk's own label.
