Max & Murphy: Amid Calls for Sweeping Charter Reform, Panel Aims Toward Modest Changes

By Jarrett Murphy | April 25, 2019

The 2019 commission began winnowing its work down to the questions that it will put on the ballot in November. And the focus discernibly shifted from the sweeping to the particular.

Agenda 2019

Opinion: Albany Should Follow NYC’s Lead on Public Financing of Campaigns

Opinion: Is the Charter Revision Commission Looking at the Wrong Election Reforms?

By Joseph P. Viteritti | April 12, 2019

Opinion: Commission Must Tweak—Rather Than Transform—the Balance of Power in NYC

Opinion: Charter Debate is a Moment for NYC to Change—or Confirm—its Identity

By Joseph P. Viteritti | April 3, 2019

The 2019 charter revision could do more than tinker with the mechanisms of power in the city. It could reshape how neighborhood identity, borough loyalty and citywide vision shape our common future.

Max & Murphy: Would a Comprehensive Plan Map a Better Future for NYC?

By Jarrett Murphy | March 28, 2019

Gotham Gazette’s Ben Max and Jarrett Murphy from City Limits talk to Pratt Center’s Elena Conte about the possible adoption of comprehensive planning.

Hopes Grow (and Doubts Remain) That New York City Will Adopt Comprehensive Planning

By Jarrett Murphy | March 21, 2019

Brooklyn

Max & Murphy: Brooklyn BP Adams Undecided on Gov Pick, Hints at Mayoral Pitch

By Jarrett Murphy | May 1, 2018

The borough president explained why he defends Mayor de Blasio, how he feels about Albany’s treatment of Brooklyn compared with other boroughs, and what his approach would be if he wins City Hall.

GOVERNMENT

Behind-The-Scenes Ethics Board Seeks New Power

By Jarrett Murphy | May 10, 2011
