What started as routine ritual turned pointed. Majority Leader Keith Powers gaveled in the May 11 Stated Meeting; Council Member Marjorie Velazquez introduced Dr. Ahmud Elsiwi of the Bronx Muslim Center to deliver an invocation honoring Little Yemen in the Bronx, and moved it be spread on the record in full. Then Speaker Adrienne Adams took the floor and opened not with legislation but with the killing of Jordan Neely on the subway by Daniel Penny, calling out that Penny had not been charged and that Neely's life had been devalued. She pressed for a budget that invests in mental-health service
