1. Sources: Mamdani to announce key fiscal appointments

It’s been more than a month since Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has made any key appointments.

But this week, incoming First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan says that’s going to change. 

2. Bronx man gets 15 years in prison for stabbing MTA employee

Jonathan Davalos pleaded guilty to repeatedly stabbing veteran MTA train operator Myran Pollack in October 2024.

Davalos refused to come to court for the prior sentencing date and appeared via video conference as the judge sentenced him to 15 years in prison.

3. Adams pushes release of 9/11 air quality documents to Mamdani

A records request more than two years old about the city’s response to the air quality concerns after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks will not be answered by Mayor Eric Adams, who was an NYPD lieutenant at the time.  

It represents the 10th time the mayor’s office extended the deadline to respond to an extensive 28-part request for files and records from the aftermath of 9/11 and the decisions to reopen lower Manhattan. That inquiry was made in 2023. 

The latest extension takes the deadline to respond to March 2026. At that point, Adams will no longer be mayor. It will be Zohran Mamdani.
