After years of stalled reform, member after member rises to credit the Street Vendor Project as the Council advances Margaret Chin's bill to lift the street-vendor permit cap , 'the vendors were left out,' Chin says of past relief. But Gjonaj, Holden, Cabrera and Yeger break off in opposition over sidewalk rights and enforcement. The day's sharpest fight is ranked-choice-voting voter education: Majority Leader Cumbo rejects it as 'a solution to a problem that does not exist,' citing the New York Urban League that 40% of Black voters could struggle, while Ampry-Samuel and Van Bramer defend it.
