2025/01/09

Almost 100 years after New York City officials first considered putting tolls on the East River bridges, drivers are finally being charged to enter Midtown and Lower Manhattan. With a new policy chapter being written, it will likely take time to determine how successful the program is and whether it will need modifications. This week, NY1’s Errol Louis was joined by two people who figured heavily in congestion pricing’s implementation: MTA Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber and Sam Schwartz, popularly

Somehow, even after losing the Republican primary, he found a road to reelection. In the final installment of this three-part podcast series by Spectrum News NY1, Errol Louis explores Lindsay’s unlikely path to victory, his second term as mayor and his ill-advised presidential run.

In 1965, New York City was teetering on the edge of an uncertain future, but a Republican congressman from the Upper East Side was determined to save it.

2024/11/21

Since Donald Trump’s victory two weeks ago, some people are worried about one of his main campaign promises — to launch the largest deportation operation in American history.

One week after Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris, many across the country are wondering how he won so soundly and what this means for the country moving forward. Trump has wasted little time naming cabinet members to his incoming administration, while Democrats are scratching their heads and pointing fingers about what went wrong. At the same time, while the president-elect won all of the swing states on his road to the White House, Democrats either held onto or won Senate seats in four of those

Easily winning on Election Day, Donald Trump will be returning to the White House as the nation’s 47th president. While New York was one of the few states Vice President Kamala Harris won, the margin of victory was significantly lower than usual for a Democrat, marking the party’s worst presidential performance in the state since 1988. Down-ballot, however, New York Democrats won some key congressional House races, as they will retake some of the seats they lost in the midterm elections in 2022. So

2024/10/17

Since 1984, American historian and professor Allan Lichtman has correctly predicted nine of the last 10 presidential races. Lichtman, however, does not use polling data. Instead, he has developed a set of 13 metrics — or, as he calls them, keys. Lichtman appeared on the podcast in February to discuss his elaborate forecasting system, and he promised he’d return after he announced his pick for president.

In 1974, it would have seemed unlikely that a massive biography of a New York urban planner would become an essential volume in the library of almost every American politician and pundit.
