“I am proud to service in this City Council with a Speaker who is thoroughly committed to ensuring that every New Yorker’s voice is represented in government. Kudos to Melissa Mark-Viverito on a moving and timely speech,” said Council Member Andy King, Co-Chair of the Black, Latino and Asian Caucus. “Bail reforms and low-level offense reforms spoken of are examples of an inclusive plan to enable equity in our criminal justice system, particularly for our vulnerable young people of color, and reexamine “broken windows” policing’s effects on our communities. Speaker Mark-Viverito offered both policy solutions as well as a clear roadmap for making the financial resources available that will make these ideas a reality. Congratulations Madame Speaker.”
