The City Council's legislation aims to expand lobbying restrictions for former decision-makers, yet it conveniently exempts its own members and staff, raising concerns about hypocrisy.
Brooklyn Councilman Lincoln Restler argues the measure is a necessary good government step, while Mayor Eric Adams' team criticizes the Council for not applying the same standards to itself.
A mayoral spokesperson lamented that the Council is enacting 'rules for thee but not for me,' showing a clear disparity in accountability for decision-makers.
The proposed ban excludes significant citywide elected officials and their staff, which underlines the limitations of the legislation as it stands.
