Looks like some of our Mayor's 3rd term policies are meeting resistance from the City Council. Here is NYC Comptroller Liu's statement related to a recent City Council override of a Mayoral veto. Kudos to Comptroller Liu and our City Council for their efforts to curb city spending and increase oversight of city contracts.

LIU STATEMENT ON CITY COUNCIL OVERRIDE OF MAYORAL VETO OF LOCAL LAW 35
******************************
NEW YORK, NY – City Comptroller John C. Liu today released the following statement on the City Council’s vote to override a Mayoral veto of Local Law 35:
“Today’s actions will help prevent runaway spending on high priced consultants and other outside contracting. By expanding the universe of City agencies and contract provisions that will be exposed to more scrutiny, the Council has taken a key step towards rooting out waste, fraud and abuse in the contracting process. While the previous system allowed large city contracts, such as CityTime, to balloon due to poor oversight and incessant contract renewals and extensions, these new measures will help protect our workers and taxpayers from further costly boondoggles.”
