The new chair of the Charter Revision Commission joined “Mornings On 1” Thursday to discuss the commission’s task of evaluating potential changes to the city charter, which outlines the distribution of government powers.

The 13-member board, appointed by Mayor Eric Adams, is led by Carlo Scissura, who outlined the commission's straightforward mandate, saying, “We go out, we listen to New Yorkers. We get feedback. We talk to people, we hear from experts in different fields—in public safety, in fiscal responsibility, in election law, in community boards, in land use—whatever it may be. And then the commissioners come up with some ideas and we present to the voters, in November, a series of questions.”

Since the commission was appointed, there have been concerns regarding impartiality, and whether the commissioners are too loyal to Adams — a notion that Scissura vehemently denied.

"We don't work for the mayor. We don't work for elected officials. We're there to listen to New Yorkers," he said, noting the commission includes individuals from various sectors, including housing advocacy, clergy and activism.

Scissura also addressed questions about the commission being stuck in the midst of a power struggle between the mayor and the City Council, asserting that the commission will remain neutral.

“We don't take sides. We don't choose. We are here to do a job. The mayor appointed us. Mayors appoint a charter commission all the time, there's been dozens and dozens," he said.

Meanwhile, Scissura said he does not yet know what will come out of this charter commission.

“This all happens during the process. So, I say the process will happen. We will do hearings and public forums across the city,” he said. “People will be able to watch us online. We'll be transparent, and we'll come up with some questions.”
