Statement from Speaker Julie Menin on the Mayor’s Veto of Int. 175-B

 

Today, New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin issued the following statement after Mayor Mamdani’s veto of Introduction 175-B:

“Ensuring students can enter and exit their schools without fear of harassment or intimidation should not be controversial. This bill simply requires the NYPD to clearly outline how it will ensure safe access when there are threats of obstruction or physical injury, while fully protecting First Amendment rights.”
