Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez today announced that a Brooklyn woman has been arraigned on an indictment charging her with reckless manslaughter and other charges for allegedly speeding through a steady red light before crashing into an Uber that was waiting for a family to finish crossing the street, plowing through the pedestrians as her car rolled over.

As of this month, New York City has begun enforcing its mandatory composting policy with fines—sparking backlash from homeowners and prompting several City Council members to push legislation to roll the rule back.
The proposed bill, spearheaded by members of the Common Sense Caucus, aims to undo the Department of Sanitation’s composting mandate. The law technically took effect in October, but penalties for noncompliance only began on April 1.
Councilmember Kristy Marmorato, who represents the northeast Bronx’s 13th District, told 1010 WINS that approximately 2,000 fines have already been issued. She is leading the repeal effort alongside fellow Councilmembers David Carr, Vickie Paladino, Inna Vernikov, Susan Zhuang, and Robert Holden.

On Wednesday, Bill de Blasio dismissed the idea of Andrew Cuomo running for mayor, sparking a fiery rebuttal from Cuomo’s team, who didn’t hold back in attacking the former mayor’s legacy.
De Blasio was asked by NY1’s Jillian Jorgensen for his thoughts on the possibility of Cuomo launching a bid for City Hall. Without hesitation, he took a swipe at his longtime political adversary. “I don’t think he should be mayor,” de Blasio said, punctuating his remark with a laugh. “There you go, thank you.”
The response from Cuomo’s camp was swift and cutting. Spokesperson Jason Elan issued a sharply worded statement that began by labeling de Blasio as “the least popular mayor in New York City’s history.”

An 89-year-old man is in critical condition after his car crashed through a fence and plunged into the water in Brooklyn’s Mill Basin near 2337 56th Drive on Wednesday afternoon. NYPD and FDNY divers pulled the driver from the water just after noon. He was treated and transported to the hospital by Canarsie and Flatbush Hatzolah volunteers with life-threatening injuries. No other vehicles were involved. Sources tell YWN that the victim suffered a medical episode, which caused him to lose control of the vehicle. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
