We're looking for big news today, what with our own Julianne Cuba heading up to Albany to cover Mayor Adams's trip to lobby for an extension of speed cameras. But first, start with the news roundup.
The big story in the local press on Thursday was — would you believe it? — our story from Wednesday on speed cameras. Plus all the other news from yesterday, including bad news out of Pimlico.
Even as Albany lawmakers slow-walk the renewal of New York's speed camera system, a new cellphone app is helping reckless drivers avoid the devices entirely.
Mayor Adams will not get what he claims he wants from the state legislature this year — city control of the speed- and red-light camera programs — a devastating blow to advocates' dream of no longer having to beg Albany to reauthorize the life-saving system every few years.
