NEW: My Dad was the fourth resident of his nursing home (@HudsonPointe_HC) to get #coronavirus. No one told me about the first and a NY State Dept of Health policy did not require notification. That policy changed on April 4, five days before my dad died. propublica.org/article/corona…
Trump announces he's appointing Jay Clayton as the next Manhattan U.S. attorney. If confirmed by the Senate, that means Clayton, a corporate lawyer who served as SEC chair under Trump's first term, will take over the corruption prosecution of Mayor Adams.
The City Council just passed the FARE Act broker fee bill 42-8 The bill requires whoever hires a broker to pay their fee. Usually that's the landlord. If @NYCMayor signs the bill, it will take effect 180 days later gothamist.com/news/nyc-counc…

NEW: Prosecutors pursuing corruption charges against @NYCMayor Eric Adams appear to have some solid evidence, but winning a conviction is far from a given, experts say. (W/ @HurubieMeko + @mrothfeld) nytimes.com/2024/09/29/nyr…
The first sitting NYC mayor indicted in 1872: Mayor A. Oakley Hall was charged by a grand jury deliberating past Christmas 1871 with corruption linked to Boss Tweed.

Brezenoff: "Of the four borough jails, Brooklyn is the one that seems to have the best chance" of opening in the near-ish term. "I believe that Brooklyn should be seen as an opportunity to create the kind of jail...that demonstrates what a jail has to be in New York City."
Stan Brezenoff says he feels "absolute disgust" about the way "we have completely failed over many many years" to fulfill our responsibility at Rikers, especially with respect to the long length of stay of people accused of crimes.
Brezenoff, about the new Brooklyn jail in development: "What I would argue needs to be done is the creation...of a separate institution that we develop a master plan for, that we engage...in issues of culture, of training, of staffing..."

.@NnekaTapia: the stress is literally "killing people." She says correction officers live shorter lives, as do people who spend time in jail and prison.
.@NnekaTapia it's not just incarcerated people who are exposed to lots of trauma — correction officers are, too, and that has serious consequences, including post-traumatic stress disorder.
.@Jan_Ransom asks: In lieu of a federal receiver, how can city and state work together now to improve conditions? @michaelislg says to start, "you need a commitment at the highest levels of government."
"That to me is the power of a receiver." Not even the best commissioner can pull off the reforms necessary given short timelines and all the obstacles in place.
