NY taxpayers on the hook for $450K as Cuomo sexual harassment accuser settles with the state - just months ahead of mayoral primary

5 days ago | yahoo.com | Priscilla DeGregory |Vaughn Golden |Peter Senzamici |Carl Campanile |Matt Troutman

A former state employee who accused Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment clinched a $450,000 settlement — with taxpayers set to foot the massive bill as the former governor makes a comeback bid for New York City mayor. Charlotte Bennett, who served as an assistant to Cuomo when he was governor, officially ended a long-running lawsuit Friday against the Empire State.
'Grand' plan for Penn Station linked to Trump donor could give glimpse of NYC transit hub's future after fed takeover

5 days ago | nypost.com | Craig McCarthy |Craig Mccarthy |Matt Troutman

It’s a “grand” Penn plan. Renderings of a Penn Station revamp proposal linked to a big backer of President Trump — that controversially relocates Madison Square Garden — could give New Yorkers a glimpse of the troubled transit hub’s future. The Grand Penn Community Alliance, boosted by Trump donor Thomas Klingenstein, wants to restore Penn Station’s original façade, create a grand commuter hall, install a giant park and, most notably, move MSG across Seventh Avenue.
Top NY fed fights release of cop killer who murdered NYPD’s Eddie Byrne: ‘Worst of the worst’

6 days ago | nypost.com | Tina Moore |Matt Troutman |David Propper

The notorious cop killer who ruthlessly executed NYPD Officer Eddie Byrne in 1988 epitomizes the “worst of the worst” and shouldn’t be granted parole, argued Brooklyn’s top federal prosecutor. US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York John Durham sent New York state parole board members an impassioned letter this week urging them to deny convicted murderer David McClary’s eighth attempt at release. “Simply put, McClary’s crime epitomizes the ‘worst of the worst,’” Durham bluntly wrote.
Trump fires MTA from long-awaited Penn Station revamp, puts feds in charge: ‘Blank checks are over’

6 days ago | nypost.com | Vaughn Golden |Matt Troutman

President Trump booted the MTA from the long-awaited redesign of Penn Station on Thursday, instead putting the feds in charge of a gold-plated makeover for the decrepit transit hub. Amtrak will spearhead the revamp as the feds champion a “public-private partnership model,” announced Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. “President Trump has made it clear: the days of reckless spending and blank checks are over,” Duffy said in a statement.
NYPD commish Jessica Tisch won’t pull punches if state discovery law deal is weak: ‘I’m a straight shooter’

6 days ago | nypost.com | Haley Brown |Matt Troutman

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch promised Thursday not to pull punches if Albany’s deal to change discovery law doesn’t close “dangerous, unforeseen loopholes” that allow criminals to go free. The yet-to-be-seen tweaks to the state’s evidence-sharing laws need to stop a rash of criminal case dismissals that have nothing to do with guilt or innocence, Tisch said during a speech at New York Law School.
Socialist mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani pitches 2% tax hike on NYC's millionaires to raise $10B for freebie-filled agenda

1 week ago | nypost.com | Craig McCarthy |Craig Mccarthy |Matt Troutman

It’s a bit rich. Democratic socialist mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani pitched a 2% tax hike Wednesday on New York City’s millionaires to help pay for his freebie-filled agenda. Mamdani unveiled his tax-the-rich proposal — which includes another hike targeting big corporations — in a news conference outside City Hall. “We are putting forward a platform today that will raise $10 billion a year to pay for our agenda,” he said.
Hochul, DAs say NY discovery law deal is 'very, very close' in budget breakthrough

1 week ago | nypost.com | Vaughn Golden |Hannah Fierick |Matt Troutman

Let’s make a whatever-you-call-it. Gov. Kathy Hochul acknowledged Wednesday that lawmakers had reached a breakthrough in negotiations to revamp the state’s discovery laws — even as she insisted it didn’t count as a “deal.”The governor instead opted for wonky jargon, describing the end of a budget stalemate revealed the day before by Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) as a “conceptual agreement” different from a done deal.
Socialist mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani gets mo’ money in royalties from hip-hop past as ‘Mr. Cardamom’: tax returns

1 week ago | nypost.com | Craig McCarthy |Craig Mccarthy |Matt Troutman

It’s mo’ money for Mamdani. Democratic socialist and Big Apple mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani still reaps royalties from his rap career — although it’s not much C.R.E.A.M., his tax return released Tuesday revealed. The Queens politician’s tax return for last year showed $1,267 in royalties, from his days as a self-described “B-list rapper” who used the stage name Mr. Cardamom. But it’s no hard-knock life for the candidate, who raked in a $131,000 salary as a member of the state Assembly.
NYC beer delivery workers preparing to strike, drying out Coors, Corona and more popular brews from thousands of bars, restaurants

1 week ago | nypost.com | Matt Troutman

It’s a Beerpocalypse. A looming strike by beer delivery workers threatens to deprive thousands of Big Apple bars and restaurants – and thirsty New Yorkers – of sweet suds from popular beers such as Coors, Corona and Sam Adams. Unionized workers for Manhattan Beer & Beverage Distributors were poised to strike at the stroke of midnight Tuesday as talks showed little sign of serving up a new contract, labor leaders said.
Cuomo mayoral campaign blames aide's lazy editing -- not ChatGPT -- for typo-ridden housing plan: 'Bbjectively'

1 week ago | nypost.com | Craig McCarthy |Craig Mccarthy |Matt Troutman

AI gevalt!Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral campaign fought accusations Monday that it used ChatGPT for a typo-riddled housing plan — by blaming an aide’s lazy editing skills. The hullabaloo erupted after the mayoral hopeful released a 29-page plan over the weekend filled with grammatical gobbledygook, an embarrassing misspelling of “bbjectively” and a footnote that exposed ChatGPT’s helping hand.
