It played like a Mother's Day rollout dropped into October. Majority Leader Laurie Cumbo's maternal-health package headlined the Stated Meeting - doula access, expanded maternal-mortality reporting, a feasibility study for on-site childcare across the city's 600,000 municipal workers, and childcare-cost transparency - pitched at a crisis that hits 'so many mothers, particularly black' women. Speaker Corey Johnson framed the night against National Coming Out Day with tributes to Bayard Rustin and Tom Duane. Amid the ceremony the Council confirmed Steven Kest to the TLC, expanded the Boerum Hill
