Charter Revisions Overhaul City Government Details
The Charter Revision Commission reports sweeping changes to New York City governance. It would overhaul the Board of Estimate with a mayoral and multi-voiced vote structure, abolish the Municipal Assembly, create a 50-member Board of Aldermen, and place education and police under centralized control. A central education board of 46 districts would replace borough boards, while several departments shift to single commissioners.
