NEW YORK STATE — The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is down 16 cents from last week to $4.00 per gallon. According to AAA, gas prices have been going down for nearly two weeks, as crude oil prices have dipped, but pump prices remain the highest they’ve ever been during this time of year. Before 2026, the national average had never gone above $4 per gallon during the month of November.

Fake CEO, Fake Big Law Lawyer: $129M Allegedly Wired

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan unsealed an indictment that reads like a fire drill for legal departments. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, three men allegedly ran an AI impersonation scheme: they cloned CEOs’ voices, and sometimes their faces, then handed employees off to fake lawyers at real big law firms, who allegedly gave the wiring instructions. The alleged take was more than $129 million, from two hospital systems, a bank, a mutual fund company and a pet food company.

New York’s stagnant, aging population is killing job growth: report

New York’s stagnant and aging population is killing business expansion — with residents age 65 and older now making up nearly 20% of the state, according to a sobering report from Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office. The “Labor Markets” section of Hochul’s mid-year budget plan revealed that there are not enough younger residents to replace Baby Boomers leaving the workforce, thanks to “constraints in population growth. “New York’s labor market faces many of the same constraints as the nation, where cautious business expansion and limited labor force growth restrain hiring,” the study found. “Individuals age 65 and older now make up 19.3 percent of the State’s population, up from 15.0 percent a decade ago. New York faces a stalled labor market and aging population, with residents aged 65 and older now comprising 19.3% of the state. mimagephotos – stock.adobe.com “The growth of the State’s labor supply will be limited due to constraints in population growth and the aging workforce. “These trends will likely restrict employment growth , but unemployment rates should remain stable,” the report said. “[The state Division of the Budget] projects New York’s unemployment rate to average 4.4 percent in each year from 2026 through 2028, slightly above the

Hudson Valley Republicans lost to Trump. We need a new path | Opinion

At about 11:30 p.m. on Election Night, I was perched on a high piece of ground near the loading dock of the Westchester County Board of Election’s Ardsley warehouse. I had a clear line of sight down the long entrance into the parking lot. I was expecting to see BOE vans delivering the controversial paper ballots that voters had been unable to scan into voting machines across Westchester County for most of Election Day. We were told the vans would have police escorts. Then a phalanx of police vehicles eased to the left off Saw Mill River Road onto the long driveway up to the warehouse. I identified Eastchester and Bedford as they passed by. They were transporting the provisional ballots themselves. They were driving slowly, no sirens, muted emergency lights. It looked exactly like a funeral procession and in many ways it might be. Republicans across the Hudson Valley and the nation were drowned in the blue wave that swept them away on Nov. 3. Who buried New York Republicans? President Donald Trump Their opponents are taking credit, but the evidence shows the cause is President Donald Trump.

Voters without a party now outnumber Republicans on Blakeman’s Nassau County home turf

There are now more registered voters without a party than there are Republicans in Nassau County, the home turf of failed gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, according to newly released data. Non-affiliated voters now outnumber Republicans 314,000-307,000, according to active enrollment data that was released in early November just before GOP pick Blakeman was shellacked in his bid to unseat Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat who carried Nassau. The numbers reflect longstanding statewide numbers, as voters without a party have already outnumbered registered Republicans for several years. Non-affiliated voters don’t include members of minor political parties including the Conservative and Working Families parties. Voters cast their ballots during the midterm elections at P.S. 152 in the Inwood section of Manhattan, New York, on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. Luiz C. Ribeiro for NY Post Trump looks to ease up on deportations — is his team fully on board? Nassau’s neighbor on Long Island, Suffolk County, is home to about 345,000 independents and 341,000 Republicans, according to the data. Since last November, the ranks of active unaffiliated voters have swelled by nearly 40,000 across Long Island, while active GOP enrollment dropped by about 4,700, according to enrollment figures.
