I want to thank President Trump and Secretary Duffy for their efforts to halt the current congestion pricing program.

While I have consistently expressed openness to a form of congestion pricing, the current program lines the MTA’s pockets at the expense of New Jerseyans.

This morning, one of our Finest was shot while he and his fellow NYPD officers were serving a search warrant at an apartment in the Lower East Side.

During this encounter, the suspect opened fire on our officers and barricaded himself in the apartment.

The suspect proceeded to open fire again, wounding the officer, at which time the other officers on the scene returned fire, wounding the suspect as well.

The suspect is a violent, repeat offender with previous gun arrests. We are angry that he was able to return to our streets, obtain yet another firearm, and shoot one of our brave officers.

The officer who was struck was transported to Bellevue, where Tisch and I went and were thankful to hear that he is expected to fully recover from his injuries.

Today’s investigation could have turned deadly quickly, and it is another reminder of the dangerous situations our officers are put in.

I will be praying for the officer’s speedy recovery, and thank him and all our officers for their brave service to our city.

Thanks to our entire police force, New York City remains America’s SAFEST big city.

Had trouble booking a table for Valentine’s Day dinner? You’re not alone. 

Shadowy resale vendors have been scalping restaurant reservations to the highest bidder, leaving regular diners without a seat at the table. 

As of today, that practice is BANNED in New York.
