NYC business leaders deride ‘delivery protection’ bill

(The Center Square) — New York City business leaders are urging Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the City Council to reject a bill to regulate Amazon and other delivery services, saying it would cost thousands of jobs and hurt the city's economy. The presidents of New York's five chambers of commerce wrote to Mamdani and Council Speaker Julie Menin on Monday warning that the legislation , if approved, would "wipe out" more than 100 locally-owned delivery companies and the full-time jobs they provide. The chambers estimated job losses of between 3,000 and 10,000 workers, "depending on how the industry responds." "It is unfathomable that the city would advance legislation that puts thousands of jobs and businesses at risk when we have other options in front of us," the presidents wrote. "The full consequences for New York City's workers, businesses, and economy are too significant to allow this bill to become law as is." The proposal, filed by Councilwoman Tiffany Cabán, a Queens Democrat, would require operators of "last-mile" warehouses and storage facilities to get licenses from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection and meet new safety, training and employment requirements, among other changes. It would ban major logistics and delivery

Newark scores on state tests could increase scrutiny of tutoring and literacy initiatives

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. The share of Newark students meeting state English language arts standards dropped last school year, while the share meeting math standards rose, newly released test results show. Across the city’s traditional public and charter schools, 35.7% of students met grade-level expectations in English language arts, down from 41.7% last year, according to a Chalkbeat analysis. In math, proficiency rose to 30.1%, up from 27% in 2025. The results, which the state released earlier this month, offer a mixed picture of academic performance in Newark, where schools have spent years working to help students recover from pandemic learning disruptions . The scores could lead to closer scrutiny of tutoring and literacy initiatives that have tried to assist in that recovery. Newark Public Schools officials presented preliminary results at an October school board meeting , acknowledging that most district students continued to fall short of grade-level expectations. The state’s more-detailed release also shows substantial differences in proficiency between Newark Public Schools, the state’s largest school district,

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has continued his social media campaign to stump for exhibitions staged by the city’s museums, this time focusing on a survey of West African modernist architecture at the Museum of Modern Art, whose praises he sang on Instagram early this morning. MoMA, Centre Pompidou, and M+ Will Treat Their Holdings as One Collection in Unprecedented Alliance Titled “Architects of Liberation: Modernism in Western Africa,” the 400-work show surveys architectural projects in Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, and Cameroon produced during a period of decolonization that began in some countries in the late 1950s. Curated by Martino Stierli and Ikem Stanley Okoye, the show features architectural models and archival imagery, as well as some contemporary artworks. “visited @themuseumofmodernart this weekend and am still thinking about their exhibition ‘architects of liberation: modernism in western africa,’” wrote Mamdani in his post. He specifically singled out Kader Attia’s 2014 sculpture Indépendence Tchao , a sculpture composed of rows of rusting index card boxes that the Algerian French artist obtained from a French colonial police headquarters. They are topped with a sign reading “HOTEL INDÉPENDENCE,” a reference to a similarly named hotel in Dakar, Senegal. MoMA to

A new digital archive opens a window into New York’s rich and vibrant Jewish past

A bagel famine. A record-breaking gathering of Orthodox Jews at Madison Square Garden. Jewish treasures discovered in a crumbling synagogue basement. These may sound like the trappings of an especially quirky history of Jewish New York — and they are. But such unusual episodes also offer a unique window into the lives, concerns and changing identities of New York’s Jewish community, from the time it was founded in 1654 to the present day.

Inside political circles, AOC’s aloof style becomes a factor

LEFT GUARD: The battle to own the progressive lane in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is already brewing, with allies of Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California Rep. Ro Khanna launching recruitment efforts seeking to nudge them both into the race. The rival efforts are laying bare the aloof, tight-lipped way AOC’s political team operates behind the scenes as she continues to weigh whether to run for president or Senate. And the recruitment bids are also showing the central role of New York in the early days of the 2028 race. Last week, former NYC-DSA-endorsed Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Democratic strategist Nomiki Konst, two longtime operatives in New York politics, launched “Run Ro,” a new outside group aiming to push Khanna to run for president. And on Monday, progressives including Ravi Sahai, a former 2025 campaign staffer for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, launched “Ready for AOC.” New York City Democratic Socialists of America co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser are also behind the pro-AOC effort, two people familiar with the matter said. The move from Bowman and Konst to get behind Khanna — instead of their fellow New Yorker — has bewildered some in the state’s left-leaning political ecosystem. “It’s weird,”

At Somos, New York’s political future meets Puerto Rico’s present

The annual Somos conference has long been equal parts family reunion, policy summit and political marketplace for New York’s Latino elected officials.
