Mayor Mamdani is proving that the word “efficiency” no longer has to be shorthand for right-wing austerity politics or corporate raiding. A government serious about delivering for working people has to be serious about how it delivers.
New: NYC voters gave a confident “yes” to all five of the ballot measures put forward by Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s first charter commission, with election night results favoring proposals intended to streamline government processes. cityandstateny.com/politics/…

.@vitusspehar summing up the COGE process: “They did a listening session. And then they took the findings from the listening session and they made them ballot initiatives so that all of the power remains with the people.”

Spoke with COGE Executive Director Ann Cheng about the city’s $1.6M voter-education push, the “Vote on Faster Government” branding, and where COGE says the line is between explaining the ballot questions and advocating for them.
New Yorkers will soon start seeing ads promising “faster government” across the city as Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s charter commission launches a $1.6 million campaign Tuesday around five proposed City Charter changes headed to voters this November. amny.com/news/nyc-coge-ballo…

As a former NYCDOT borough commissioner, I am very excited about COGE’s proposals to streamline the approval process for street safety projects. Cutting unnecessary delays will help advance the Mamdani Administration’s vision of safer, more livable streets nyc.gov/mayors-office/news/2…

For more than a century, New York City’s development process has been slowed by outdated permitting and approval systems. It’s time to modernize.
