State Legislation Resolution 144/145
The NYC Council is expected to pass a pair of resolutions requesting that the NY State Legislature enact proposed eminent domain reform legislation. The vote should take place at the next full Council meeting, December 21.
Basically, these resolutions support the NY State legislature's resolve to create a process to act upon reform... in otherwords, there are no substantial changes to the law, but the "expression of support" may be a good first step.
Summaries of the resolutions are below with the complete language after the jump.
