NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — New York City Council voted Wednesday night to override three mayoral vetoes.<\/p>\n
This means the stiffer criminal penalties for street vendors put in place by a June bill will be repealed.<\/p>\n
These vendors will still be subject to violations, civil summonses and fines.<\/p>\n
Council members also overrode Mayor Eric Adams’ vetoes of two bills that impact delivery workers.<\/p>\n
One provides them with pay raises, and another gives them workplace protections, like establishing e-bike safety requirements.<\/p>\n
“Mayor Adams’ vetoes were another example of him prioritizing Trump’s agenda above our city by disregarding the work of his own administration on these bills and harming working-class New Yorkers,” said City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.<\/p>\n
The mayor argued that grocery prices were already too high, and the changes would make things worse.<\/p>\n
