The bill is actually from Gail Brewer if I understand correctly. She can no
longer submit bills to city council because she is no longer a member. As
borough president she can tell a city council member in her borough to submit a
bill for her. Why she asked Levine I don't know.
I was Levine's "O&M instructor" yesterday. He asked good questions and seemed
to have an interest. I didn't love all the cameras but I did't feel like just
a prop for a photo op .
Mark Levine might be a little busy with other matters over the next few days.
