NYC Public Advocate's Statement On Mayor's Third State Of The City Address

January 24th, 2024

"While the mayor included some promising proposals in his address, including recognizing the harm of social media on public health and safety, what was left unsaid was his attempt to pit the city against itself over a basic data reporting bill that strengthens public safety.

"I invite Mayor Adams to have a public, honest discussion with me about my office’s legislation so that New Yorkers can hear what the bill actually does: provide greater transparency in policing practices. After months of misinformation, I think the people who elected us both deserve to hear the truth."
