BY ROBERT POZARYCKI [email protected] @ROBBPOZ ops are continuing to search for two men who robbed a cab Cdriver at gunpoint in Ridge- wood last week. According to police, the trouble began at 1:20 a.m. on Sept. 15 when the two suspects — described as black or Hispanic males — entered the driver’s cab at the corner of Gates Avenue and Fresh Pond Road. They directed the cabbie to take them to a location on Hancock Street near Cypress Avenue. Upon arriving at the location, au- thorities said, one of the perpetrators pulled out a black semi-automatic handgun and racked the slide, while the other pressed a knife against the victim’s back. Law enforcement sources noted that the two bandits removed from the driver $200 in cash, two smartphones (a red iPhone 7+ and a Samsung Galaxy tab 4) and a black iPad mini. The crooks then exited the cab and were last seen fl eeing eastbound on Hancock Street. During an investigation, police learned that the stolen iPhone and iPad were sold at a store on Myrtle Avenue in neighboring Bushwick. The 104th Precinct Detective Squad is conducting the investiga- tion, with Detective Mark Bublin Good times bubble up at assigned to the case.

He now edges New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn by five percentage points in the race for the Democratic nomination. Among registered Democrats in New York City, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate, if the Democratic primary were held today, here is how the contest would stand: • 25% Anthony Weiner • 20% Christine Quinn • 13% Bill Thompson • 10% Bill de Blasio • 8% John Liu • 2% Erick Salgado • 1% Sal Albanese • 1% Other • 18% Undecided “The Weiner candidacy has scrambled the contest,” says Dr. Lee M.

  • Mayoral Candidate Sal Albanese Set to Debate JFK and LGA Landlord
    Mayoral Candidate Sal Albanese set to debate JFK and LGA landlord and Mayor Bill deBlasio Who said these words? "I would not hesitate to drag the FAA into court." Brooklyn's Sal Albanese did - a former 11-year John Jay High School teacher and 15-year City Councilmember and very likely our next NYC Mayor. You probably didn't know it but the City of New York is the landlord of both JFK and LGA airports. And the fact that our current Mayor and landlord of the airports has failed to enforce the environmental clauses in the lease between the City of New York and the operators of the airports - effectively holding the tenant accountable to the terms of their lease - speaks volumes about who is really behind the deBlasio administration. You can see the pertinent lease clause here and the lease's front page, here. And that's why New York City needs a Mayor with the guts to stand up to the monied interests of the airlines, the arrogance of the FAA and the corruption of the Port Authority. And you probably also didn't know that the very few and bold U.S. politicians and mayors who have threatened to drag the FAA into court have brought much sought-after noise and pollution relief to their cities from the FAA’s disastrous NextGen navigation system that continues to sicken and pollute communities across the U.S. with its low-flying aircraft: depressing residents, reducing property values and forcing many to leave their once liveable neighborhoods - all in the name of airline profits.

    How the Survey was Conducted Nature of the Sample: WSJ/NBC NY/Marist Poll of 1,421 New York City Adults This survey of 1,421 New York City adults was conducted June 17th through June 21st, 2013. Adults 18 years of age and older residing in New York City were interviewed by telephone. Telephone numbers were selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the city. The exchanges were selected to ensure that each borough was represented in proportion to its population. To increase coverage, this landline sample was supplemented by respondents reached through random dialing of cell phone numbers. The samples were then combined and balanced to reflect the 2010 Census results for age, gender, income, race, and borough. Interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish. Results for adults are statistically significant within ±2.6 percentage points. There are 1,118 registered voters. Results for this subset are statistically significant within ±2.9 percentage points. There are 689 Democrats and 123 Republicans. The results for these subsets are statistically significant within ±3.7 percentage points for Democrats and ±8.8 percentage points for Republicans. There are 361 likely Democratic voters defined by a probability turnout model. This model determines the likelihood respondents will vote in the 2013 Democratic Primary for mayor based upon their chance of vote, interest in the election, and past primary participation. The results for this subset are statistically significant within ±5.2 percentage points. The error margin

  • Why Even Ed Koch Will Vote for Giuliani
    Why Even Ed Koch Will Vote for Giuliani Forward - December 20,1996 Why Even Ed Koch Will Vote for Giuliani Although the Jewish vote went overwhelmingly for Bill Clinton in the 1996 Presidential election, most New York City Jewish voters will abandon the Democratic Party and vote for the Republican- Liberal candidate, Rudy Giuliani, next November. Federally, the Jewish vote remains liberal, favoring abortion rights, gay rights and public support for the arts. Locally, however, it is increasingly conservative on issues such as taxes and crime. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Jewish support for Mr. Giuliani has less to do with Crown Heights - he won two-thirds of the Jewish vote in 1989, two years before the Crown Heights riots - than it has to do the political priorities of the city's Jews today. During the past 25 years, the Jewish population of New York City has declined from more than 2 million to just over I million, while simultaneously becoming more geographically concentrated and more polarized in religious terms. The enormous working-class and middle-class Jewish communities of Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx have migrated. As a 1990 UJA report showed, two-thirds of the city's Jews live in Manhattan and Brooklyn. From 1981 to 1991, the Jewish population of Queens declined by 25%, as young Reform and Conservative Jews moved to Manhattan or the suburbs while their parents retired to Florida. In Brooklyn, Russian immigrants, the growth of the Syrian and Orthodox communities and an influx of ecumenical Jews to Park Slope, Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights have only partially compensated for the loss of Jews from traditional Jewish strongholds.
