Mamdani dissolves Adams’ controversial panel, launches a new Government Efficiency commission

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani disbanded the late-term Charter Revision Commission created by Eric Adams and is launching the Commission on Government Efficiency (COGE) to study bureaucratic bottlenecks and push ballot questions in November, including potential open primaries. Adams’ panel, which could sue to defend its work, remains in legal limbo while Mamdani appoints a new 15-member team of city, business, and labor figures to hold 10 hearings and press reforms aimed at delivering faster, more efficient government. Albany has granted Mamdani until June 1 to accept or reject the Adams commission’s existence, complicating the politics around the proposed reforms.
