Several council members were moved to less desirable seats on the floor, and Councilman James Sanders Jr. of Queens lost the chairmanship of the Economic Development Committee. Mr. Sanders protested with an impassioned speech on the Council floor, in which he blamed outside influences for losing his committee and invoked the spirit of Friedrich Nietzsche, saying, What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
