"On a personal level, I'll miss Jerry Nadler, whom I started covering in 1990, when he was still in the Assembly, for his relentless battles against a shady real estate developer named Donald Trump who at the time was trying to stiff the city out of his commitment to renovate the 72nd Street subway station as well as to build a glorious park on the West Side."
"Here's one of the most horrifying hit-and-run crashes we've heard in years. Rest in peace, James Mossetty. (NYDN) Speaking of that fatality, it's been a bad few days for road violence: A Queens woman was killed by an unlicensed driver, cops said. (WPIX11) A Bronx mother was killed in a crosswalk by a hit-and-run driver. (NYDN) A cop was lightly injured by a hit-and-run driver in Brooklyn. (NY Post)"
Rep. Jerry Nadler announced his retirement after serving 17 terms in Congress. He served in the New York State Assembly in 1990 and later confronted developer Donald Trump over commitments to renovate the 72nd Street subway station and build a West Side park. Nadler promoted a cross-harbor freight tunnel to reduce truck traffic on city streets. The Times and the Post covered the retirement announcement, though neither mentioned the tunnel. Recent news included multiple hit-and-run incidents and fatalities, unanswered questions about Rudy Giuliani's car crash and staff, an ongoing Queens bus network redesign, and debate over high Central Park Conservancy salaries.
