A packed Manhattan stated meeting opens with an Inwood priest's invocation and Speaker Julie Menin's heritage-month roll-through (AAPI, Haitian, Jewish American), then pivots to business: the chamber seats its newest member, Carl Wilson, who casts 'Aye on all' on his first general-order calendar as colleagues from Schulman to Hankerson welcome him aboard. The 48-0 calendar adopts a dense slate -- a 2026 World Cup welcome resolution, Linda Lee's Intro 741, Brooks-Powers crosswalk-safety commitments, and the 92-01 Fourth Avenue Brooklyn rezoning that Kayla Santosuosso flags as 'on my old block.'
