Quinn's Allies Get Bills Passed
January 21st, 2009
The Daily News this morning looks at all of the bills passed by the City Council since 2002, and it finds Council Speaker Christine Quinn’s confidants have the best luck.
At the end of 2007, we did the same thing. We looked at who introduced the most bills (it was Councilmember Peter Vallone Jr. back then) since Quinn took over as leader and whether they were likely to get their legislation passed.
Like the News, we too found Quinn’s allies — and those that headed the council’s most influential committees (ahem, David Weprin) — were able to see their legislation through to law.
For a full breakdown of our list, which details every member’s legislative record (from introductions to hearings to approval) go here.
