STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON PASSAGE OF INTRODUCTORY BILLS 1079 AND 1080 BY THE CITY COUNCIL

“Last year, there were a record-low number of murders – and a record-low number of shootings – in our city, and this year, we’re on pace to break both of those records. Unfortunately, these dangerous pieces of legislation will only hurt our police officers’ ability to protect New Yorkers and sustain this tremendous record of accomplishment. We have demonstrated why these bills are bad for public safety, and I will veto this harmful legislation and continue to make our case to Council Members over the coming days and weeks.”
