Good tidings? Well, not exactly. The mayor and local lawmakers are not seeing eye to eye -- with the City Council banning solitary confinement in city jails and also passing a bill requiring police officers to log every investigative encounter with civilians. Mayor Adams is against both of these measures and may veto them. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan weigh in on these bills, as well as the mayor's fierce opposition to them.
