DescriptionNEW YORK CITY HALL — The City Council voted Wednesday to kill a committee led by Councilman Ruben Diaz Sr. following the embattled lawmaker's incendiary comments about gay people.

With a vote of 45 to 1, with three absentions, the Council approved a resolution to dissolve the For-Hire Vehicles Committee, which was formed only about a year ago with Diaz, a conservative Democrat, at the helm. The panel's jurisdiction over the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission will be transferred to the existing Transportation Committee.
