It's the Brian Laird

show on WNYC.

Good morning everyone.

We'll begin today with our lead Eric Adams reporter, Elizabeth Kim,

who many of you know comes on with us most Wednesdays

after the Mayor's Tuesday news conferences. This week there was big news

conference happened to come on the same day as the biggest legislative defeats

for the mayor since he took office in 2022. City Council overrode his vetoes of bills requiring

more police transparency about who they interact with and one further limiting how people

incarcerated in city jails can be kept isolated.

Here's Speaker of the Council Adrian Adams yesterday before the override votes.

The resistance to this legislation is disturbing. The

resistance to truth-telling of data of who is being stopped in the city of New York

is disturbing to me.

It should be disturbing to everybody.

And here's Mayor Adams yesterday at his news conference.

This was also before the vote.

The council council goal of increasing transparency in government.

I believe in it.

I believe in it 100%.

This is what my life's work.

This is what I have committed myself to do. but at the same time that I talk about transparency, I talk about public safety.
