      The mayor and the union representing correction officers, which also fiercely opposes the bill, are expected to continue to lobby against the ban right up to the vote. But the bill’s sponsors and supporters say there are enough votes to pass the bill and to override Mr. Adams if he vetoes it.

        I’m using Jerboa. Is there a paywall bypass extension for the built in browser? Or is there a better lemmy client I should be using? Android, fwiw.

              1. It’s just two extra clicks!

                I was being facetious. But yeah, there’s a menu at the top of the screen, and an option to Open in Chrome.
