Q&A

Marte questions administration on shorter phase-out timeline

New York City Council · Jul 15, 2026 · starts 1:13:43 · 44 sec

Marte asks whether the administration would support a shorter phase-out period if worker protections are included. Ortiz says the administration is open to discussing it but would need to review the bill in totality.

Christopher Marte

One final question.

Christopher Marte

All right, I'll come back.

Christopher Marte

Thank you, Chair.

Lynn C. Schulman

Now, ask the one final question, but we're trying to keep on time here because we have a lot of people testifying.

Christopher Marte

I respect, I don't need to ask this question.

Christopher Marte

I respect that.

Christopher Marte

Okay.

Lynn C. Schulman

All right.

Lynn C. Schulman

Councilmember, before I do that, I just want to say one thing.

Lynn C. Schulman

You know, I'm a big fan of, well, two things.

Lynn C. Schulman

One is we've been joined by Councilmember Hanif.

Lynn C. Schulman

The other is that I'm a big fan of DOHMH, but I'm disappointed at the data questions that we asked that we didn't get answers to because those questions were submitted to you guys beforehand.

Lynn C. Schulman

So I just want to make mention of that.

Lynn C. Schulman

I'm going to ask Councilmember Epstein to ask questions.
