What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

City Council Speaker Julie Menin and Tiffany Cabán discussed the Delivery Protection Act, a bill aimed at making key street safety changes to Amazon’s business model. Despite calls from union leaders and Mayor Mamdani for Menin to pass the legislation, she pushed back due to concerns that Amazon would increase costs to consumers. The bill, which Tiffany Cabán introduced last year, is currently stalled by Menin, who holds the sole power to bring it to a vote.
