"Zohran Mamdani took the oath of office early on Thursday after a very full day of major interest to Streetsblog readers. He named a Deputy Mayor for Operations, Julia Kemper, news of which the Daily News broke. And, hours later, he named Mike Flynn as the new Department of Transportation commissioner, the second-most-important job in city government. Streetsblog got the official confirmation, but Gothamist, amNY and the Daily News had been sniffing around all day."
"In his brief remarks on a glitchy livestream, the mayor cited transit at the very top, owing partly to his commitment to public transit but also the location of the swearing in - in the old City Hall subway station. He then let Flynn share center stage ... at his own inauguration, evidence that Mamdani might be the real deal:"
Zohran Mamdani took the oath of office early Thursday and immediately announced key appointments. He named Julia Kemper Deputy Mayor for Operations and appointed Mike Flynn as New York City Department of Transportation commissioner. Both appointments were well received and widely reported by local outlets. Mamdani prioritized transit in his brief remarks and held the swearing-in at the old City Hall subway station. Flynn shared center stage during the inauguration. Additional items of interest included reporting on the most-delayed subway lines and a child injured by a new fare gate. A fundraising appeal sought tax-deductible donations to support reporting and advocacy for a more livable, walkable, bikeable, and equitable city.
