1. Bensonhurst residents protest homeless shelter with construction set to begin

City officials say construction will begin this week on a homeless shelter in Brooklyn despite protests against its construction Sunday night.

Police were called to get the crowd under control, and one protester was arrested for disorderly conduct.

2. Blakeman accuses Hochul of planning to raise taxes

Bruce Blakeman, a GOP candidate for governor, accused Democratic opponent Gov. Kathy Hochul of secretly colluding with Mayor Zohran Mamdani to raise taxes, a deal he says could come to fruition if Hochul is successful in November.

Hochul’s campaign did not specifically respond to the accusation, but spokesman Ryan Radulovacki said in a statement: “While Bruce Blakeman can’t stop touting Trump’s illegal tariffs that make everything from groceries to clothing more expensive.”

3. Feds probe whether NYC Council member, Hochul aide took bribes to help migrant shelter provider

Federal prosecutors are investigating whether a New York City Council member and her sister, an aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul, accepted bribes or kickbacks in connection with the appropriation of city funds to a migrant shelter provider, according to a copy of a search warrant obtained by The Associated Press.

The warrant, signed March 19, seeks evidence of possible criminal violations involving Councilmember Farah Louis, a Brooklyn Democrat, and Debbie Louis, who serves as Hochul’s assistant secretary of New York City intergovernmental affairs.

It also names Edu Hermelyn, the husband of state Assembly member Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, who also chairs the Brooklyn Democratic Party.
