"As Sophia Lebowitz reports today, Hizzoner was on hand to champion Levine's new efforts to rein in app delivery companies who, as we discovered yesterday in our own inbox, don't like when they're criticized for allegedly predatory employment practices. Notice very clearly that we said "allegedly"! Whatever your feeling about delivery apps, the Mamdani administration feels that they're making our roadways less safe by mistreating workers."
"Vickie Paladino's racism, shady ethics and vile lack of collegiality finally caught up with her as new Council Speaker Julie Menin declines to reward bad behavior. (NYDN) It's pretty clear that the NY Post doesn't understand the scandal of Gov. Hochul's bid to lower auto insurance rates. The paper can't figure out what's going on. Here's a cheat sheet, Rupert."
Mayor Mamdani publicly backed Consumer and Worker Protection Commissioner Sam Levine as Levine begins enforcing regulations against delivery app companies. The administration asserts that some delivery apps engage in allegedly predatory employment practices that mistreat workers and contribute to less safe roadways. City Hall issued a report and national coverage echoed similar concerns. Related items include international examples of cracking down on misleading delivery promises, Council leadership changes and ethics consequences for Vickie Paladino, a judge tossing a business group's suit over a bike lane, commentary on the MetroCard phaseout, and questions about NYPD Vision Zero reporting.
