51, with Presumptive City Council Speaker Julie Menin

51 is the number of members in the New York City Council. Six weeks before the Council was scheduled to vote on its next leader, Council Member Julie Menin announced herself the presumptive Speaker after garnering the support of a supermajority of her council colleagues. On this episode of What's the [DATA] Point, CM Menin joined CBC's Andrew Rein and New York Law School's Ben Max to discuss her broad vision for a proactive City Council, her working relationship with Mayor-Elect Mamdani in service of shared interests, the Council's role in prioritizing important programs with budget constraints, and much else besides.
